Too late priaprism!

Ok, B.I.L. has sent me a photo, but I can't upload from my phone. Not a great picture, but from what I can see, the fairing at the wing root (starboard) looks like it has gone. As in, not there. The photo is taken front on, but from what I can see, the fwd cargo door appears to be in place, so if anyone has a better understanding of what is in that vicinity...

(For the record, B.I.L. was formerly a FSO...not prone to hysterical rantings in the press)

EDIT:Can't recall how large that panel is but after zooming in on the image, it looks like the missing section actually goes underneath the area as well.
