What, if anything, has happened to G-BNLL since Sunday? We have seen photographs that indicate that it has been extricated from the building, but no other information about what is happening.

Some photographs suggest that damage is limited to the area in front of a spar that runs out to the winglet, and that the lower surface is relatively intact.

So will repairs require no more (assuming that that spar and structures nearer the root are not deformed) than replacement of 20-footsworth of ribs, associated skin, and some wiring? Not forgetting a new winglet.
