Is the truck ok?

The Bedford catering truck was built in 1962 and as a result suffered a slight scratch to the paint work on the right fender.
The A380 built in 2009, suffered a # 4 engine separation from the air frame, the left wing snapped in half, all oxygen masks deployed in the cabin and the flight safety demo video reverted to Travolta mode. Otherwise, all ok.

So in the light of the general approach so far.

Who was driving the truck......these guys will do anything to bring about the demise of mainline.

Wasn't a catering truck. Was a Baggage container.

... leaving it stranded for four days.

Surely they could swim one across from Toulouse (or Hamburg) in that time?

It's"cashew" now. AJ realised by only putting one cashew per bag he could buy a new penthouse.
