It has also been mentioned that the doors also came off and this was an indication of structural damage to the tail due to flutter/twist/or the tab failure.
However this observation flies in the face of pictures showing the tail wheel doors on in the final dive. (The side view picture.) After reviewing the video of the aircraft, I have yet to see anything leaving the aircraft other than the trim tab.
