BA038 may well have been on the ground overnight, but what was the ambient temp overnight? What time was it refuelled? I bet about 3 Hrs before dept, as is standard. Not enough time after the refuel to allow any melting & settling for a meaningful water drain
I have been unable to do the sumps on a DC10 after it has been in a hangar for 12 hrs on a UK winters day because they were still frozen.
