I was trying to spot the patch , is it just after the "e" on the tail ??
I used to work in the aircraft industry and adhesives are used extensively. We frequently used Locktite brand 'superglues' (isocyanates) to bond bolts, studs and nuts in place. We even had different strength types from deliberately weak ones right through to cor blimey strong ones. We also used araldite brand adhesives and other types of oven bake epoxy types. Frequently if a machinist or machine programmer drilled a hole in the wrong place in a metal body we would superglue or epoxy bond a metal plug in the hole and re-drill in the correct place. Rubber pieces were often glued to metal parts to make components.
