Golfyankeesierra - re.taking the other winglet off on the A330 at Ascension
Yes, I would have thought it would make sense, but my Dad was a passenger on that flight. He watched the wingtip get jammed under the other aircraft, they then had to sit there for a couple of hours as they didn't want the pax getting off and the aircraft rising up and making the damage worse. Think in the end they refuelled asymmetrically while the pax were still on, to get the stuck wing unjammed.
I watched it taxi in when it arrived in the Falklands and can assure you it only had one winglet on.
