More like Mr Tug driver, "Have you seen your P45"?
"No".
"Well here it is"..........

Pretty cool fix, although I really thought they would have fixed it entirely instead of patching it up. Imagine if something worse had happened on the way back, it would have been the end of sales... Wink

It is really no biggy. I posted the pictures for, want of a better word, the shock factor, that non aviation professionals would view it with. All winglet Airbus's are cleared to fly with only one winglet fitted for a start. For a one flight trip, this is a minor dent compaired to some damage that has been able to fly home for repair.
