So, it may be front view of right wing, whose shape could be the one bertween the green lines...
Hi Shadoko,

I'm with Turbine D on this one: Looking at the position of the supports of the plates in front of the spoilers in relation to the 'Do not step...' at the trailing edge they match perfectly. In your own post #3573 the images show it nicely.

That said it would mean everything behind the main wingbox (behind the aft spar) including the area in front of the spoilers were torn off on impact. However, as these arejust panels bolted/glued on the supports that doesn't seem too unlikely.

So I'm pretty sure you hit the nail on the head with your first assumption.
