<p>This 747-400 of Korean Air is one of the 18 jets that were diverted when LHR closed unexpectedly on December 18. It was the biggest of all 18, and the first or second to leave. LHR was still closed, it ferried to MAD to reenter scheduled service operations. 
We were on the apron with a few TV crews as it taxied by us. Huge clouds of fine snow were blown all over us by its engines. Imagine : pitch dark, freezing nose, ears and fingers, howling jet engines and a blizzard blowing over you as this behemoth gently rolls by. Breathtaking moment. 
Camera was covered with snow.
