Hi all,
Well, I've got that TF-ABQ mentioned in my logbook a number of times, no sweat!
It's part of the leading edge which probably got 'stood on' (It's a no-walking area!) during some maintenance work.
Then, with the krugers extended for this particular takeoff it got to it's limit, and blew off! It gets a little pressurized in there whilst the LE flaps are extended.
Looks a bit untidy, but no real problem, just inconvenient to have to return to HK.
More embarrassing than anything, I guess!!

Cheers
