Walk-round
That's just the thing I was asking; I don't know where the damage was, but find it hard to imagine being over a wing !
So indeed, what did happen to the walk-round ?
I am used to dealing with military groundcrew ( and in a way I was one ) who I have the utmost respect for, but for the chap who's signed for the aircraft carrying either explosives or hopefully if civilian lots of people, I take no insult at all at being regarded a possible idiot or worse and having my work checked.
I would regard it the Captain's duty to regard everyone else an idiot and double-check until proven otherwise - this is known practice on ships or even yachts, and I'm damn sure Test Pilots live to get their pension that way.
