I think the carpet monster has migrated to my modelling bench as I was removing a wing fence/wing pylon combination from the tree/sprue to clean up and apply to to my Meng Fiat G.91 when I lost it

Now some may say I lost it years ago but this was a case of self distraction. I have no idea what happened to the part but one second I was taking care in its removal and the next it was no where to be seen and its not that it was propelled any distance to a far corner of the room or some similar place either, it just vanished

I have scoured the carpet to see if it ended up there, rummaged through the detritus on the modelling mat all to no avail although I have ended up putting some of the detritus into the bin making sure that the missing part was not in my hand prior to throwing the waste away.
I baffled and p!$$£d off at how easy it was to lose the part which means that I can't continue with that build until I find the missing item
