VR-HFX et al,

maybe I need to be less cryptic:

that one of the CX Tractor division twins also dragged it's a$$ on T/O affected by same wind conditions, only 20 mins after the 'Cochon Plastique'
Translates as:

A Cathay Pacific 777 on T/O 20 mins after the said A340 also experienced some diffculty with the wind conditions and also 'lightly' dragged it's ass.

But of course the Boeing designers know what a 'fat lump' the 777 is and put a tailstrike detector on, so you don't damage your paintwork, as you do on the A340. So on that day the A340 was not a unique case....

Brgd's
