The front skid appears to have been corroded and it is still being sorted out by the certification authorities as YAA pay the parking fees at Staverton. A triangle of trouble...... CAA.... AAIB..... FAA.... as everyone else sits and waits for their deliberations.... When they get round to an answer maybe the repair can be done. 3 months and counting.

The aircraft was ex- BP Airfast in Indonesia and had been grounded for a while.

You just cannot see through the paint to the trouble within.
