Does anyone know where I can find information and photos about incident caused by weather to aircraft? I remember a few years back that a XLA 757 was damaged during a hail storm, as was an easyjet swiss 737?
Assistance much appreciated!:ok:

Remember The 'Expo' XL 757 he was inbound from PMI, And arrived back to LGW minus the radome.
the size of the 'Hailstones' were worrying.:ooh::ouch:
I think the report will be by the AAIB, Although the incident happened over France.

Check out this Easyjet's encounter with mother nature.

I presume that happened airborne? Was there a serious risk of depressurisation based on the front windows?
