BA have damaged G BNLE B747 400 in a towing incident at LHR on Friday afternoon. Mind you they may have tried to hush it up because the airport authority were not told until 3 hours after the event !!
A B777 was stopped at the Eastchurch crossing waiting for the gates to open on its way to the base when LE which was towing behind it failed to stop.
The nose went straight through APU of the B777.
The aircrafts a mess with a massive hole from the nose cone up to the cockpit window.and reports are that cost of repair is 2 1/2 million quid . Apparantly it punctured the bulk head because the 1st class cabin is not as it should be.
An expensive mistake
