Actually, it was a mobile GPU which collided with the #2 prop/nacelle back in October 2005. Being in ABZ at the time complicated matters but eventually a replacement nacelle was fitted and it flew to Flybe @ EXE for a 1/2C check prior to paint.
Nice and shiny now I hope. Lets hope it stays that way!

tallaonehotel,
I wouldn't! - I'll keep an eye on the programme over the next few days and do my best to keep it on that rotation for Friday but depends on the ongoing prop balance - It is nice to have the full complement back at long last until something hits another!! Yankee Whiskey has been to ABZ a couple of times since coming back on line in the last few days which has given me the jitters...

Saw it in EDI this evening just before 5pm. Wow that's what a CLEAN dash looks like! 
Forgot to say that two stands over was the BA Connect Embraer 145. Shame the RJ we pulled between them on was not the one in BA Connect colours.

Well, I tried, but thanks to whoever decided to leave it parked with a set of steps in front of it and backlit I failed miserably to get a half decent picture. Now the weather is back to being the usual wind/rain/cloud I guess I'll have to wait!
