Coming back through cloud and dodging the cu-nimbs in China there was a loud thud and the windscreen got covered in blood and feathers. An unauthorised cormorant flying illegally under IMC had run into the radar radome. Not only had it totalled itself but it collapsed the radome and jammed the scanner. Now blind to the weather there followed quite a bumpy ride until we were clear.
The British engineers looked at it in an advisory capacity and stated that it needed a new radome. The Chinese engineers, whose aircraft it was, took it off and departed for the nearest panel beaters.
It come back a few hours later; indistinguishable from new.
