Not really a good time to mention it but I remember sitting at the holding point at SNN and seeing a Futura 800 rotating in front of us with a brief cloud of dust being kicked up in the area of the tail bumper. We reported this to ATC who passed on the message.
Evidently the Boeing checklist was too inconvenient to carry out at that stage and they continued on their merry way to TFS (if I remember) to replace the tail cartridge there I guess. . . Oh dear.
In this case the crew have done the right thing coming back, pressurisation probs or not, of course it helps if you dont thump your airframe onto the ground on rotation, but that is another matter and is a not terribly uncommon occurence regretably on the 800.
