On 12 October the aircraft had arrived at Stansted from Amsterdam Schipol Airport and was being
prepared for its next passenger service. During the ground inspections it was noticed that, at the No 5
left-hand lift dumper, the edge of the cover plate on the wing surface had been forced upwards.
Further inspection showed that this had occurred due to loads applied to the lift dumper panel itself by its hydraulic actuator, which had caused 'bowing' of the lift dumper panel due to the absence of the hinge bolt in the centre hinge position.
