After refuelling the A320 using a hydrant refuelling vehicle, the refueller drove the vehicle away
without disconnecting the nozzle from the aircraft. He was not aware of the occurrence until he
arrived back at the refuelling organisation's parking area, approximately one mile from where the
incident occurred. The damage to the aircraft had rendered it unserviceable but there was no release
of fuel. The aircraft was repaired and returned to service the following day.
