Many thanks, and to the source too!
On the very last photo an interesting detail not seen before: the wings came to rest upside down (flap mechanism cowlings clearly visible), yet pointing forward. That is clearly at odds with the break-up sequence I have speculated on earlier. I cannot envision how after a tail strike in wings level attitude the wings could have become inverted while maintaining a straight line of motion, and remain intact in the process. Anyone any ideas... ?
