Not heard that the aircraft will be a write-off but out for a month or two no doubt - could road it to ABZ and park it up with Dash-8 GBRYW that had a fight with a GPU and lost (7th Oct 05) .... join the queue!

Re: Ground incident at Birmingham (EGBB)

I very much doubt a knackered elevator and hinge will write it off. Replacing corroded elevator hinges is almost standard during the structural checks on the 146. From what I've seen of the damage photo's it doesn't look to bad certainly not as bad as the THY RJ that had a 60 tonne tug try to shorten it by a few feet several years ago.
