I never worked for Dan Air, but was closely involved with the aftermath of the Lusaka tragedy. To the best of my recollection, the aircraft had been on check in the BCal hangar at LGW not long before the incident. The criticisms did not involve anything to do with the stabilizer, but there were a couple of things that should have been fixed before Dan Air operated it.
I worked in Hangar 3 - don't remember this aircraft at all. Inference is that BCal should have fixed something ?? Major was done at Dan-Air Maintenance Facility in the AAIB report. Aircraft had done 146 cycles since C Check. BCal MX may have lent the Dans boys the hangar for the night for the B Check but I dont think that they'd have been looking for cracked lugs on the upper stab bushings - do you?
Sorry to be a little sensitive when it comes to MX malpractice but it tends to touch a nerve. Foxy.
