When the flaps were selected to 30° whilst on the approach to Birmingham Airport, the flight deck and cabin crew noticed a significant shuddering and vibration. This was accompanied by a marked uncommanded roll to the right. The landing was uneventful, and after the aircraft was parked on its stand, a section of a fairing panel approximately 1 metre square was found to be missing from the right-hand side of the fuselage, close to the wing trailing edge. The only part of the panel that had remained was a narrow strip which included the fasteners along the bottom edge. The detached portion was never recovered.
