The reason I ask, it may never have been disturbed by the Part 145 organisation? If the airframe is low hours, that particular part may never have been disturbed, fitted from factory and untouched? I guess it would still fall under calendar ops, 1 or 2 yearly inspection, but would that involve disconnecting that link? Perhaps they had an unscheduled removal which resulted in its disconnection? Again, only the Part 145 and AAIB will have the answers to that.
G-INFO reports registered in July 2016 and 283 total hours as at 28-Jun-2018 (not sure how reliable the G-INFO database is)
