Walked over from the house and had a look at it from landside today. All the Swiss markings have been expunged by the simple expedient of covering them with blue plastic stuck down with orange hi-speed tape. Most unprofessional. Notably all the Swiss markings are thus removed but none of the Star Alliance ones, an interesting comment by Swiss about Star Alliance maybe.

There's been a Cityjet Avro (one of their new ones) also AOG for the last few days, pushed up to within a few feet of the Swiss, which makes an easy comparison. There's a mark from the tailstrike which if you didn't know you would probably think was dirt. That's it. Can't see the insurers writing it off for that.

If you want to go and see for yourself the best viewpoint is from the pavement at the Connaught Bridge roundabout, beyond the Jet Centre, when you will see it directly tail-on.
