Hi Gaz
Im sure that it sitting at Glasgow just Now , and has been since Friday its in Loftlideir( not sure how you spell that one) colours at the side of the Tower

Ah ok. I understood that it was due to go back to KEF, but perhaps they decided just to save the fuel costs 🙂

Sad to see the aircraft damaged like this – they’d only just got the certification done on it a couple of weeks ago:

This must be a hell of a blow to them.

E-GPK – the paint finish does change colour with angle – see other pics on the operator’s site:

Hi Damien,
it must have been really bad , as a few BA flights diveret to NCL and MAN, I heard on the TV quotes of 80+ mph Gust
I might be wrong but i thought that The guy who owns LLS has 2 aircraft , 1 cessna G-OLLS and A beaver based at Loch Earn,

I would like to think that the owner’s insurance policy covers weather damage, but with insurance companies you never know!

Ofcourse from the angle of your shots it is hard to assess the damage properly, but it doesn’t look too bad. Ofcourse if the main wing spar has suffered a crack due to the impact then there may be a problem. But hopefully it will be repaired quickly. I think you’re right about Loch Lomond Sea Planes.

p.s. Icelandic 757 TF-LLZ passing through GLA tomorrow around 11-ish, going to LGW to operate for Ghana Intl. Airlines.

I would guess that it will be covered by Insurance though is a storm an act of GOD
I was lead to believe that Loch lomomnd Seaplanes had aquired the Plane , so I dont know if this will affect their operations For 2007,as they have accquired a licence to operate commercial flights from The River Clyde, though in thier Blurb , it was quoted they would be using a Beaver float Plane

Thanks for sharing Kevin. I assume the damage costs will be covered by insurance? Assuming ofcourse the owner is insured.

Wow, we didn’t get a storm last night in Manchester like most of the country did! Looking at that photo, I’m glad!

Your forgot the cheeky grin though 😉 IMO, and in my experience that can change a sentence from malicious to witty.

Out of intrest, where abouts in walsall are you? Live near brownhills myself 🙂

In light of a recent pm from Jamie, I am happy to accept his apology and retraction and therefore am removing all further posts I made on this thread. I would appreciate it if anyone using my quotes would remove them to spare Jamie further embarrassment.
