my friend works at gamco, my understanding is that an A320 has been completely destroyed by fire.

fire started in aircraft itself, reason yet unknown.

one engineer injured as he was on board at the time,seems he basically had to jump off to escape the fire.

thankfully no fatalaties.

could have been alot worse if it had not een for the fire service,excellant job done to contain fire as 2 other aircraft where in the hangar at the time. Air Mauritious and Kingfisher i think.

A serious incident that could have been alot worse than it actually turned out me thinks...
