Hi Chevron good point !! They did not mention to me about any charge -- However when the Insurance Guys came round they pointed out that there was a charge of 4,000 pounds for the foam which was not covered !! The gear failure was the forward link rod shearing so as it settled into the foam the nose gear pushed back into the bay. I put the two bladed props horizontal, so after the Guys washed all the foam off, I pulled the nose gear down, pinned it down and l flew the aircraft back to Biggin. So I pointed out to the Insurance guy that damage without the foam the repair bill would have been considerable more than 4k. They accepted the foam charge !!
