Butch Posted December 30, 2021 Share Posted December 30, 2021 I expect the driver will be in for a bollocking, I take it if the plane were stationary it will be down to him to ensure adequate care is taken to avoid collision. Poor bloke, hope he keeps his job, especially at this time of year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like he tried to turn the truck to go between the two cones with the predictable result. No excuse for accidents like this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I can see, the winglet is damaged. Besides that, the return flight to Warsaw was cancelled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We used it to tape a wing mirror back on to my mates old MB once & it was still holding strong when he scrapped the car a few years later. Also good for repairing wifey's trainers....

The photo doesn't show if there were more cones marking the lane directing traffic around the plane. The cone spacing appears to be very wide and may have given the appearance of a turn lane if one's line of vision was downward or if your Polish.
