DV, I think it is safe to say that this point has been received loud and clear by those in authority. having followed this thread it talks about two modifications being introduced: one to fit a shoulder bolt to prevent the shackle getting stuck in the scissors. A second mod to revise the pin assembly. I would have expected both these points to have been covered off by a SFI or whatever they call them these days, to check for free movement in the shackle and also ensure the pins are correctly installed. I bet everyone getting in a jet since the incident has been particular about these checks. I think the article in the newspapers and bbc refer to these mods being rolled out by April this year.
