Having had a quick look around the jet at Coningsby recently, with the radome and radar removed, it certainly doesn't look all that bad at all, and the gingers seem pretty confident that it would be repairable. Certainly looked in a lot better shape than several Tornados I have seen after a wheels up landing.
Although Composite materials hide a lot of damage, and can be in quite a state whilst looking outwardly fine, it seems that the radome, radar assy and canards took most of the hit, all replaceable items

Although perhaps a certain Mr El***t won't be too happy to have his jet dead for such a long time
