Have read most of the technical discussion in these threads but one thing that seems strange is that there are no VS inputs recorded by the FDR ,if it records them at all,yet looking at the BEA released final track and 3 D graphic there was a reasonably tight turn to starboard presumably needing the rudder inputs -unless Bearfoil's suspicion re the VS is correct. I'm not aircrew but interested and impressed by the amount of expertise and the arguments between the experts.
