After dings to the aircraft at Casablanca, our onboard mechanic Vincenzo determined that the damage could be repaired.
Airlines management made the decision to continue the race. A maintenance crew was flown to Lisbon in another Lancastrian, where we ferried I-AHBY. After some fantastic work, we are ready to resume the flight from Lisbon.
