As someone who was intimately involved, I can confirm that 6 months after the incident and almost 45 days in repair at KLAS/LAS, the aircraft departed the field a little over an hour ago. I saw it depart. No other BA 777 scheduled at that time and the repaired skin patches were clearly visible!
Good job everyone and next time you see G-VIIO in full livery operating a scheduled, revenue flight, just reflect for a moment its history!
