Just wondering at what point it became unairworthy? It made it to the UK and only pulled into Manchester as alt reserves wouldn't have been legal by Heathrow (ie. could have
actually made it to EGLL), didn't it?
I thought Joe Sutter et al designed it with four big donks to make sure it kept flying (ie. remained 'airworthy') with one out, no?
ATEOTD what ever we think, the authorities concerned have spoken and no fine is to be levied. Maybe the good bit in all this is that they spoke to each other, discussed the issue and came to a common conclusion. Let's all leave it at that
