Covering up the titles and reg seem to make no sense at all. If they thought that it would prevent identification by the news media, then that is impossible! (Even if they had covered the tail!) :rolleyes:

I was there when it happened, on an aircraft parked nearby. I spoke to a couple of the engineers who were there and they said it was an engineer's mistake. The engines were not damaged though, just the L1 door and the nose gear and well.
