ETA was 1031, is scheduled flight, crash at 1030 I would not think it was fuel starvation.
No fire after impact due to low fuel on board and ground conditions.
Low cloud 700 and possible low vis due to fog 5 temp 4 due, ac was spot on the approach.
Bird strike very possible but examination of the engines will show straight away signs of this, and they would have been an attempt for a force landing which is not the case.
Stall of the ac is obvious, could be due to high level of automation and not in time recognition of the impending stall due to ac been in tha glide path.
Lets wait for the AIB investigation, for lessons learned.
Sad very very sad!! RIP
