Thanks Rather.

It looks to me as if the tail has been damaged.

Engine cowling.- frame 00:16
Dark Cloud of falling Material- frame 00:29
Tail damage - frame 00:34 & 00:36
Crash. 0:39

I have checked the aircraft in a dozen different frames, and in each one the tail is not symmetrical, it's not angle as I have the wings as a reference.

I would stick my neck out and say the cowling at 16:00 is not a cowling or engine, it's too big, the aircraft is moving away from the camera, looking at the size of the AC in the shot then the size of the debris, the debris is too large to be an engine.

Anyone know how many seconds after take off on this runway before the ac will have cleared the runway ? AC is wheels up at 00:03 in this video, how many more seconds until it would be clear on runway ? Maybe the cowling hit the tail, so if they found the cowling on the runway, maybe that fell off before it came into camera.
