No it isn't.

I have read the AAIB report thanks and it doesn't give that information. The interim report leaves very much open the possibility that the MRO made an error, whereas the contributor to the Southend forum refutes this, saying:

"....the on-site "sub-contracted" Easyjet representative raised a written "Customer Request" to the MRO, based upon the verbal handover and made the fundamental error that the required rectification was totally opposite to that reported by the crew. The MRO rectified the defect as reported."

Whether or not those are the true facts I don't know, although the writer does seem to have some knowledge of the events from the MRO's perspective, but it certainly is additional information to that contained in the interim AAIB report.

We shall see what the truth of the matter is when the final report comes out won't we?
