Are these the pretensioned structures provided by Arena Structres? Theres a photo of an aircraft in one of their tents in their latest newsletter http://www.arenagroup.com/images/pdf..._autumn_07.pdf
They can create some amazing structures with these, every year they erect one for the Scientolgists which is visible from the other side of the valley and is larger than their manor house!

Yep, that's a hard landing, and for an RJ/146 it's a shocker.
I have a feeling that is the a/c that was so badly damaged by that particular landing it had to be removed from LCY by barge as it was considered unfit to fly and couldn't be repaired in situ.
Standing by to be corrected, naturally.

re - the Tented 146 - As I understand it she was repaired barged back across the dock and flew out in mid December and is now back in service 
Also it wasnt the one which almost crashed onto the runway in the youtube clip. The rj which was in the tent was wearing Star Alliance colours.

I'm not sure where your restaurant is, but a helicopter touches down daily somewhere between Aldgate and Canary Wharf (I see it from my Aldgate office window) - might well be that you're seeing, and the distance is hard to see?
