51 - " tiles were not affixed"

the RCC panels (there are 22 on each wing leading edge) on the leading edges are the 'tiles'. There are no additional insulating tiles on them, by design. However, the 'chunk' hit numbers of feet back, not on the RCC, but back by the wheel well, where there are tiles. We have had film of the impact point since day 1.

Bob, what you said may have been quite clear to everyone else, but being the slow guy that I am, I'd sure appreciate it if you could explain that a little more clearly.
