Lets just hope the repairs aren't bodged. Otherwise one of these
aircraft could well drop out of the sky in a few years time....

Does anything suggest that the repairs may be bodged?

Has happened in the past, relatively minor damage from a 'fender
bender', bodge repair and aircraft falls out of the sky.

Does BA have a reputation for bodging repairs to aircraft?

Nope. Not even sure they do the repairs themselves. But I don't
think making such repair will be easy. I guess I am uncomfortabe with
it in the same way I would prefer not be in an accident damaged car
that had been repaired. One of those things, you'd always be
wondering...

I've seen things you people wouldn't believe.
Barbeques on fire by the chalets past the castle headland
I watched the gift shops glitter in the darkness off the Newborough gate
All these moments will be lost in time, like icecream on the beach
Time for tea.
