TyroP,
No, I, for one, am not sure, hence my earlier questions. But if the aircraft didn't make those tracks, what did? We know, from what the TSB has released, that the tail section struck the berm, so the undercarriage couldn't have been very high above the ground. The wheels must have been spinning at a great rate, which would cushion the impact with the berm, wouldn't it? And looking at that photo in Davies's book (I don't have a scanner so cannot post a copy. Could someone do so, please?), one can imagine most of the wheels clearing the berm. Still, I admit it is difficult to understand why the berm, if it was struck by the tail section of the aircraft, appears relatively undamaged. Also, why do the (tire?) tracks (appear to) begin only just in front of the berm?
