Summary
Power should return to Heathrow Airport within hours, a National Grid source tells the BBC, after a fire at a nearby electrical substation forced Europe's busiest airport into shutdown
The fire is still burning, London Fire Brigade says, with no power at Terminal 2 and 4 as well as 5,000 nearby homes
Counter-terrorism police are leading the investigation into the fire, but the Met Police says there's currently no indication of foul play
Heathrow says no planes will fly today and warns of days of disruption
A source from the airport says back-up generators did spring into action, but they weren't enough to power the whole airport - an air industry boss says it leaves "serious questions"
Hotels and pubs near the airport are packed with stranded passengers desperate for news, our reporter Rich Preston writes
My guess is an FSB operation.
