Hi all

Was in DUB at 08:30am, taxied past the aircraft on Link 4 and got some nice photo's! Definately a ground machine as it was missing both engines, unless FR have found that flight is possible without them!

My ground crew told me that the shear pin on the tug tow bar had done it's job perfectly and sheared! Tug went one way, aircraft went the other. If that did actually happen, isn't someone supposed to be in the flight deck covering the brakes for such ground operations?

Cheers
