Rumour has it that in the process of jacking it up the wing was punctured and a fuel tank ruptured resulting in fuel spillage and even more delay. Why were they jacking it up using the wing?
Sounds like an "Out of Africa" story!

Question

I was advised that the cause of the delay was a broken axle.
