The initial AAIB report mentioned extensive heat damage at the rear of the a/c a complex part of the struture. This is going to take a while to fully evalulate.
I would be very worried about the potential, outcome, How do these plastic beams etc cope with heat stress. The fin & tailplane put a lot of forces into the structure at this point.
