To transport the engine safely, it needed to be fully heat-wrapped. Normally this would require the use of a heat gun. Heat guns can produce extremely high temperatures and although there isn’t always a visible flame, the fan motors and power switches can create sparks, which are also a serious fire hazard. As a result, the use of heat guns is banned airside at Gatwick, so the engine was unable to be moved.
