AS Wensleydale has alluded to, this was no easy fix. I had the pleasure of sitting through the presentation about the repair, the St Athan airframe guys did some sterling work, 4 frames had to be repaired, lots of problems getting the aircraft to sit still on it's jacks whilst the repairs were carried out (the mini earthquake didn't help), lots of fuel damage to wiring and avionics and believe it or not the most difficult part was sourcing a replacement ground refuelling panel (found in a scrap yard in America)
