Aircraft Damage due Weather

Does anyone know where I can find information and photos about incident caused by weather to aircraft? I remember a few years back that a XLA 757 was damaged during a hail storm, as was an easyjet swiss 737?

Assistance much appreciated!

Remember The 'Expo' XL 757 he was inbound from PMI, And arrived back to LGW minus the radome.

the size of the 'Hailstones' were worrying.

I think the report will be by the AAIB, Although the incident happened over France.

Regards.

I presume that happened airborne? Was there a serious risk of depressurisation based on the front windows?
