Locally rumored to be a likely write off (damaged beyond economical repair) due to extensive wing damage, but lets see.

G-BNLL is apparently a jinxed airplane. It is nicknamed Never Leaves London-after the last 3 letters of it's registration and a poor serviceability record.

It may well never be going back there.
