I suppose this ought to make me feel a bit better about my plane slipping off the jacks during maintenance... at least the damage is only minor. I think that one will take a lot of polishing out.

I see an entry door is removed. The radome is also badly damaged, probably got stuck behind the platform. Would that be the reason the door is missing? Sheared off by a platform?

Only the one photo to judge from but there does not appear to be any damage to the visible door frame. So it could well have been removed before, or afterwards but not (I think) sheared off.
