Hi Everyone,

Did anyone here of the QF A380 sustaining some minor damage recently resulting in it being grounded for several days?
A Friend i know that works for QF said someone hit it with something like a catering truck or something like that

at 6.00pm yesterday Friday it was in MEL, and by 1030pm it was in SYD so good enough to fly yesterday (saw it in both locations)

I saw it in Hangar 96 a few days after it arrived with what appeared to be plastic sheeting and masking tape over the fuselage around one of the upper deck rear doors on the left side of the aircraft.

I thought it was odd and I instantly got the impression then it was being painted or 'touched-up'.

While watching it land and take off in ADL this evening, what is the red patch on the nose wheel door?.

That would most probably be the push/tow angle limit line.
