Bearfoil; CONF iture;
I confused my "inners" and "outers", and thanks
CONF iture for alerting me to an error in the Andy Tracy doc. Will let him know.
For the record, the spoiler arrangement and numbering are as follows:-
There still seems to be universal disagreement as to the cause of the spoiler detachment, though I am personally in favour of the BEA's version, as visible breakage of the spar attachments point to a high unidirectional force, which I don't see being as a result of an overspeed event. The usual proviso - I may well be wrong.
Bearfoil; Apologies, my original supposition regarding the non deployment of the "outer" spoiler was wrong. However, the top surface of the spoiler could have been impacted with shrapnel from anywhere at time of impact.
