Hi everyone as you know N747PA clipper Juan Trippe which was sold to Aeroposta then broken up and sent to Korea as a resturant which looks derelict and painted blue with the wording Juan Trippe has suffered fire damage to its tail section due to a fat frier catching fire and being put out with water causing an explosion within the airframe. The whole resturant or the 747 frame has being exstensively damaged and will have to be rebuilt to save the interior and speacail fittings. I looked on as the smouldering resturant fire was put out. The main airframe is intact but the rear aft tail section is burnt and the airframe suffered fire damage. I will keep you all updated and send photo;s of this soon Thank you
