I went to do some work on it along with others from Brize LSS before I left, we treated the paintwork with some special coating to stave of the inevitable.
As for crews doing stupid things, there was the fuel leak they discovered in Hong Kong on a wing, the skin was actually cracked, but they decided to fly it back to Brize anyway, IIRC the thing with the Tens wing skins etc was they were rolled. so could have cracked open like a zip..
