Just seen this as being doing sensible stuff. i.e. sailing for a while.
Viewing the pictures of the damage gave me cause for thought. Took me back to a time as a trainer in the RHS of a 747-2/300 doing command training with a Canuck. Airbus very new on tthe scene in our part of the world. Opened my mouth to draw his attention to something whilst taxiing, interrupted by "Yes I've seen the (Parked) Airbus isn't fully on it's bay, I'm easing out to miss it.............But it's only F.... plastic anyway!"! Liked his attention and style, the man has deservedly gone far.
Yet again on the evidence, F88 was wrong, the Frogs must use better plastic than Boeing, although the wings I believe are made in the UK at Woodford, winglets ??
Bugger--wrong again, what's new in aviation?
F88
