BA 757 CPET UG Door problem

Hi All,

Was on the 460 service from LHR to MAD today and after boarding we were told that due to a UG Door problem reported by the inbound crew we would be delayed for a while as it was being checked out by an Engineer.
Then a little later on the captain informed us that in fact the said UG door would not have closed after takeoff and that the plane was to be taken out of service. They promptly moved us to another 757 (ED) and got us to Madrid only 55 mins late.. Well done BA !!

Does anyone know what was up with the UG Door on ET? I saw when leaving the aircraft via steps at the rear door seeing the R/H Main UG door open so I guess that was the one in question??

Again, well done to BA, we were very impressed at the speedy recovery...
