BOAC:
PBL - reducing to basics, and ignoring the 'doubts' on the AB control laws, we have to accept that the tail broke off well before the rest of it came down and if the Alitalia is to be believed it was well nose-down at impact. As said many times, all pitch/power etc is recorded up to loss of tail section at least
How would that explain the maingear strut resting near the tail asembly mentioned in Posts 695

Finding those two pieces together it could be possible, the gear broke off together with or shortly after the tailstrike?
