Incidentally, since you seem in the know, apart from the wheel / tyre damage, was there any other damage to the aricraft? I seem to recall it landed heavily enough to crease the airframe (?), but not sure if there was any truth in that? Was it a quick repair and back into service?
I'm sorry to say that I can't answer your question. I understand that after the initial repairs were made they flew it out for further inspections and making the necessary repairs if required.
Note: There is another thread on this same subject on Rumors and News
