Actually it flew to Luton. The Boeing field engineers put a pit prop through the DV window frame, jacked her up, drifted down and then welded the nose gear in to place, and they flew her back gear down. So no new nose. Save the radome; couldn’t fix the antenna so no radar on the way home.
And prior to that they had to weld the windows shut as the DV window frame was distorted. !! Funny old thing that.
Brilliant, old fashioned Boeing engineering at its best. Long gone I fear.
