Epiphany, I totally agree with your last post.
Fishbang, Whatever your interpretation of the facts, the aircraft took off in bad weather and was flown into the ground. It doesn't appear to have landed under any form of control, a straight pile in, perhaps we would expect the tail to hit the ground first if any sudden low level avoiding action was taken at that speed/height.
If you think the AAIB is going to base any report on what we here speculate on, you're wrong.
If this reminds us of the perils of bad weather, and stops any of us pushing it just a little bit too much, then we have all learnt from it.
