Accident of heavy metal groups Iron Maiden B747 at Chile The perspective in this picture lets the engine seem gigantic! At least 10 meters in diameter, I would say if I didn't know better

Little Kemble in the Cotswolds, helped out Ed Force One.
Finding Spare Parts for a 747 on Short Notice Replacing two engines entails replacing not just the engines themselves, but also thrust reversers, and engine cowlings. To do that quickly, the engines were sourced from a supplier in Hanover, Germany. The thrust reversers and engine cowlings came Kemble in the UK and additional tooling and materials were located in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. Once located, the challenge was to get all the necessary parts to Santiago as quickly as possible.
The FR24 blog in the tweet is well worth a read.

That's a bit more than a little wing tip clip we are used to ! They are all seriously lucky, someone was looking over them, but may be not ATC / ground radar
