Narrative:Sustained damage to a rear cargo door on 22-11-1996 whilst loading baggage at Manchester Airport. No injuries sustained to the 47 persons on board (crew of 5 plus 42 passengers). According to the following extract from the official AAIB report into the accident:
"Just before push back from Stand 26 at Manchester, the ground engineer reported to the flight crew that a 12 inch gash in the aircraft's skin was visible on the aft cargo door. The aircraft was removed from service and the door replaced.
Earlier, prior to passenger boarding, the cabin crew had heard a thump but had not believed it to be significant. The first officer, who carried out the pre-flight external inspection, did not see any damage to the door as it was open at the time with a 'belt loader' in position.
The commander reported that it would have been highly unlikely for damage of this nature to go unnoticed by those responsible at the time of the occurrence".
Damage sustained to airframe: Per the AAIB report "12-inch Gash in rear cargo door".
