Incorrect.

I have inferred the correct position as early as post
#118. Markings on the wall were perfectly usable references to the position. My post seems to have been largely ignored, except by CONF iture, maybe because I did not draw a big colored bar to indicate the aircraft position. I left that exercise to the readers.
The skid marks seem to be consistent with the ones seen in post
#250, where they have been compressed by an long telephoto lens. On both photos they seem to end under the wing between the innermost and the second pylon.
Judging the offset from the engine scratch marks they appear to have come from the center gear.
