QF B734 missing landing gear door

The safety vehicle wouldn't have anything to do with it unless they had a birdstrike

I was thinking that they may have had to pick up the missing fairing pieces from off of the runway.

Also on TJI, I noticed a couple of months ago, the forward cargo entry door on the RHS of the aircraft had a large lime green square painted on the side of it. This of course may have been a large sticker and not painted. It would have been approximately 1m x1m square, and only on the RHS.

Did anyone else see this? I have taken a pic and will post as soon as I can find it, but thought I'd post earlier seeing as TJI was the aircraft involved.

Yes I have noticed it a couple times, the door may have been damaged during unloading/loading (dog cage could have hit it) and it could be the green primer paint that has been used to repair the door and hasnt had the white paint as yet.

but in this instance TJI left ADL without the two parts - as AJ mentioned it is part of the CDL

David M - I noticed TJE has a green patch as if flew over home in Annandale at 8.27am this morning.

OMG...i flew on that unsafe aircraft (VH-TJI) back to SYD from BNE. Inside this aircraft (TJI), its interior cabin has new overhead bins and new seats in all the classes.

Unsafe?

Where in the above does it say anything about 'unsafe'?

[Grant Smith]

Purcell,

Clearly the green patch makes it unsafe...
