Just came across this on YouTube, a full hour program aired in the UK detailing a BA 747-400 getting stripped down for a D-Check. Started watching it, it's turning out to be a great program with some awesome camera work in it!

Looks like a great video Maikha, will watch in full tonight, thanks for posting.

Continuity Check - Have a look at 1:18 where it looks like a QF B747 to me.

Just watched the whole video, it is amazing how deep a D Check goes, and that it can all be done in 5 weeks. The engineers must gain an incredible degree of satisfaction from the immense amount of work that is completed during the check. I really enjoyed the video.
