9V-SKB Panel Repair?
 

Guys - I just noticed that between the 19/5 and 30/5 there seems to have been a repair on the side at the bottom of the 'S' on 9V-SKB. Any idea what it was?

Thanks

Darren

Isn't that where the emergency slides, or equipment associated with them are? As see here (red panel under door) in this latest A380 for EK...

I seem to remember that these had to be checked :confused: every 80 or so cycles...

Thanks Bernie - That makes sence, but why would the panel need to be relaced with an un-liveried one? Damaged?

I got to see the A380 take off the other day after my QF flight had a RTO and we taxied back for another go. Both sides of the SQ A380 (didnt catch the rego) are like this.

There was actually a problem identified a few months ago with the A380's slides (I think with the inflating gas?) meaning they had to be re-packed at the aircraft's first service.

Bloody tall honeycart!!!


SKC is also brandishing the same panel replacements. It was in today.
