Based on westerly currents encountered on the drift to the seafloor, as described previously, it is likely the heavy, dense or hydrodynamic chunks are to the east (right) with lighter, less dense parts further to the west.

There is a section quite large far to the east that is only present in the wide field image. Some postulated earlier that might be the cockpit or tailplane.

Could the section to the south be a wing with landing gear? Can anyone make out the engines or the APU (likely in the rightmost part of the main debris field)? It would be nice to establish the scale.
