The first transmission was "major oil leak" followed about 45 sec later by "loss of power - turning back".
His descent was controlled as we had several transmissions including the fact he had selected a field and that his engined "failed completely" some 3,5 mins after the first transmission.
There was never a mention of the prop loss which leads me to suspect maybe he did not know?
My guess at this stage is that the oil leak was the start of the separation and the 'loss of power' was the prop separating.
The aircraft impacted in trees near his selected field, wings level at the time.
