Was at work last night when afore mentioned incident occurred (Servisair, EDI).
Told on the radio by the Cargo guys that the captain of the Fokker had been in a mad rush to get away that he had taxied forward before everything had been cleared (there was mention that he may not have left the brakes on) after being turned into wind, and proceeded to dig his nice F27 blades right into our GPU- lots of pretty fireworks apparently.
Fits with what my mate had said, who left the a/c 10 mins prior after dispatching it. Said the skipper had been getting rather pushy about departing on time (despite several late requests for additional weather).
Unfortunately this leaves us one GPU short for the upcoming Rugby charters for Scotland v France tommorrow! And no, there was no decapitating Tug drivers involved!
