PJ2,
an examination of this area either by drawings or physical inspection of other 330's may tell us what else "left" with the VS, pulled by piping/cabling/wiring/ancilliary structure etc - pure conjecture but at least "reading" the trace.
Agreed. It would be a reasonable assumption that disruption of the airframe at this scale and location would have some impact on the structure of the THS also. In fact, could those white box structures be directly connected to the spar structure of the THS. Any A330/340 mechanics care to offer an opinion? PJ2, you appear to have access to the A330 AMM, is there any info in there?
