Is she still in Singapore? Will she be fully repaired there, or patched up & flown to France for full repairs ? Or is she unrepairable given the substantial wing damage and machined tapered thickness slab construction of the wing skin?
Anyone know the answer to this from Flying Lid? As a former resident of Singapore I am just interested.

The first time I flew out of Changi the BA 747 had a contained engine failure on climb out, necessitating a fuel dump and return to Changi, so this all seems rather déjà vu to me. But that was a long time ago.
