It appears only the front landing gear, underneath the pilot’s cabin, has collapsed, leaving the plane at an angle.

A British Airways spokesman said: ‘A freighter aircraft has been damaged while stationary on stand. As a freighter only aircraft there were no passengers on board.

‘Safety is always our highest priority and we are investigating the matter.’
