Hmmm

they seem to be eeping a pretty good track of events
Well, they do but this passage from the log worries me slightly:

Another important passage is:
Using insulated FRPs to repair concrete means that after a fire, it may be possible to replace the FRP system – the FRP and insulation – rather than replace the reinforced concrete member.
Given the likely temperature that the fuselage burned at, it is a testament to the strength of the CFRP outer skin that the amount of damage on the 787 was relatively limited.
...so that's the secret Boeing repair technique then, nice bit of Douglas Fir shuttering ply inside and out, a quick pour of the strongest mix Readymix can deliver and the job's a good'n?
