Rumour has it that when undertaking major work on one of the Explorers [possibly the West Midlands airframe] at PAS in Staverton trouble was found with one of the new design securing pins. It 'just fell apart' .... [ouch!].

These are the redesigned 'fit and forget' pins not those that resulted in a short term general grounding last year.

That was a week ago and so far nothing has leaked out of the 'tight ship' to confirm the story.......

.... or otherwise.

Unless you know better?
