OOPS!
Any one else seen the horrendous damage done to a Skyservices A320 at MAN yesterday ?, ive seen some damage done to aircraft over the years by service trucks etc but this was spectacular, theres a gash about three feet by two feet through the fusealage, i wouldnt like to picking the tab up for that repair!
I heard about it, but I haven't seen any pictures yet. Do you have any? The aircraft was due to be transfered over to G-reg today, as MyTravel will be using it this summer. That's going to put a dent in the schedule!

Funny thing, noticed this thread 'cos I've got a cat called smudge.
I remember an incident in the 70's at LGW when a catering truck drove into a Dan-Air 727 and removed the top engine completely. Those were the days when the airport staff 'greasy spoon' served alcohol to workers around the clock, I believe.

Hardly horrendous damage. Looks like skin panel change, maybe some localised frame repairs and SRM style stringer repairs/replacements to me. Depending on spares supply maybe a weeks work tops.
The Q400 had several broken frames, one of which was attached to the front spar of the fin.
