    1450 will be out for an extended period of time to complete the repairs that have been thrown up.

    Will the repairs be carried out on the SVR or an external workshop?

    It was declared a failure 14 hours ago on a Saturday. I doubt that much has even been considered yet, but our chaps at BH are some of the best in the business

    Sorry, I assumed you stating it being ruled out of the gala implied some sort of assessment made and presumably conveyed to the owner.

    Well yes it’s been assessed and the repairs that need undertaking will take longer than the time to the gala.

    However the question you asked was where it would be repaired and that is not an answer I have.
