Hi all,
I came across this photo: http://www.jetphotos.net/viewphoto.php?id=5781567

and noticed the Union Jack is gone on the inside right winglet. This seemed to happen sometime around late June/July.

Any idea what's going on?

This is probably due to the damage sustained during pushback at L.G.W in June. Aircraft was taken out of service for repair part of being a new wing tip.

Hope this helps answer your question.
