Some years ago a RAAF P3 Orion hit a pelcan in flight, and the damage was huge. Several of the flight deck instruments were forced out of the instrument panel, severe distortion to many frames in the nose, etc, etc. The aircraft was unconsidered to be damaged beyond economical repair. Needless to say the RNZAF bought it at scrap value, bought some bigger sledgehammers and had it back flying in no time!
