The latest from MEL is that the evaluation work on the repair has just finished. Rear pressure bulkhead is cracked . Aircraft has been moved into the Old Ansett hangar at a cost of $28,000 per night ! Rumour that an Insurance write off is now being considered as cost of repair and requirement to get the a/c to Toulouse (unpressurised at 10,000ft ) to carry out the repair work is going to cost a fortune. At least 3 months out of service for repair work to be completed.
