Er! the repair to the BA a/c was no more than the replacement of a Ti edge protector strip to the forward cargo door. Unfortunately it had to come from the manufacturer, (in this case China) so it took over 24 hours by the time it had been shipped and gone through customs etc. These sacrificial edge protectors are in segments around each door aperature.
