I understand that the towing rig didn't just bend the skin (and puncture the pressurised hull)... It also hit some fuel lines that leaked into a major power distribution box loaded with capton (sp?) wire. Therefore repair had to be made to several aircraft systems including the replacement of over 25 miles of wiring looms that had to be hand made.

T'was a big and v expensive job with money that we don't have.
