I have seen 180kt
Thanks. Extrapolating - always a risky thing to do - says the next data point would have been at 1300 feet and 188 Knots, or thereabouts.

I also notice it has hit the ground on its left side - not rolled after landing, judging from the impact damage. Given a very steep left bank and maybe the beginning of RBS... all adds up. The debris field is big, it was obviously breaking up before it hit the ground.

From the Daily Mail photos and a bit of extrapolation on my map overlay, it hits the ground at just about exactly 1000 feet.
