This is the fuel filler in the left wing, there is an identical one in the right wing as well. I am standing by the wing leading edge, the top of the photograph is thus towards the tail of the aircraft. The paint is worn, but the screws in the wing are actually rusty.

A slightly lower perspective. Apparently the paint is bubbling loose in front of the outlet, is there a hot spot there? Oil and dirt on the landing gear.
