Unfortunately, we have suffered a few break ins over recent months. Although damage has been relatively minor - mainly to over wing windows - a fire extinguisher was discharged at one point and it has been very time consuming to clean up the powder. We have had to remove all the seats from the flight deck, these have been taken outside for a wash. They evidently weren’t designed to save weight! We have also taken the opportunity to repaint the floor.
To discourage break ins, metal plates have been screwed across the over wing windows. Whilst these are a little unsightly, they will hopefully put all but the most determined from gaining access.
Despite the very wet weather we have experienced over the summer, the aircraft hasn’t leaked badly. Nevertheless, we have identified the odd water ingress and remedial action has been taken, either with speed tape or putty.
