Yes, seems like the poor A321 was holding at ETIV and got its rudder sliced by a -400 winglet under tow down rwy 23.
Would that need a whole new composite tail even if it was just the rudder which got hit? What with Airbus and their composite tail issues at the moment I think this could be quite expensive.

321 Currently in a BA Hangar at Heathrow awaiting a new rudder - apparently on it's way from Singapore.
Saw the rudder - nice winglet shaped slash straight through it, looks like it'll be heading for the bin!
Good job it wasn't a little further forwards....
