Well remember some long years back a QF 747 which hit a hail-storm over the Alps, crew electing to continue to London.
Can still vision it sat in BA's TBK Bay4 with nose-cowls perfectly planished as with a ballpein hammer, radome and scanner wrecked, boatfairings denuded and much else including windscreen, I believe, at very close structural limits.
Don't suppose anyone has pictures?
Rod.
