BA Boeing 737 Damaged

Post by Garry Russell »

G-DOCU was damaged by a ground vehicle in Genoa last week

Looks more like iceberg damage to me *-) 8)

Severe enough, given the age and the type future with the carrier that consideration is being given to writing it off.

Proabably more value as spares

I mentioned in another thread that BA were using a Titan Boeing 757

This is to fill in for G-DOCU and is Gatwick based as was 'CU

Ben :hello:

I just checked the aircraft status

Better sit down as I have some bad news for you :worried:

It is my sad duty to inform you that G-DOCU was repaired and is back in service

You have my deepest condolences :(
