It was a Templewood 707 that had a massive hydraulic leak on take-off from 26. The Vauxhall car park was sprayed with Skydrol and something like 100 cars were ruined. There was a story doing the rounds that one Vauxhall employee saw this as a golden opportunity to get a free respray so he covered his car in hydraulic fluid. Unfortunately for him, the insurance company were easily able to prove that it wasn't Skydrol!
