Overspeed
I am not sure how relevant this is (if at all) but there was an incident in 2000 with a UPS 747-200F (N520UP) which took off from Dublin Airport on a post maintenance test flight.
The aircraft took off with the static drain port caps missing which resulted in the aircraft exceeding its speed limitations due to under reading pitot-static instruments caused by cabin pressure being sensed. The aircraft suffered flap damage caused by the excessive speed.
