When was that taken? Did something happen to it again? I was working there in 2008 when the underside of the nose collapsed.

Nah its just old, needs refurb.

They didn't want a repeat of the standing Sat5 when someone opened up the courtyard and there was a piece of an engine on the ground. They refurbed/painted that in '19
