Does anyone know how the repair work is going?

Last week, I visited my nephew a student in Oxford, he told me he has a friend, an engineer who normally doesn’t work in aviation, who has been employed to help get the plane repaired. He didn’t know exactly what he was doing, but he thought his friend is somehow involved in the infrastructure of the repair process.

He was told the costs of parking/hangar rent alone was astronomical.

Anyway you look at it, it’s an expensive operation…made more so by its size, location, and the fact that no repair like this has been done on a 380 before.
