Fenestron intact?

From the clear photo in http://www.pprune.org/8244492-post1677.html the chances of it being in a pre-crash state don't look good. However, if I remember correctly, the AAIB statement did say that all components were found at the crash site.

There are photos online of substantial parts of an un-enshrouded, yet substantially complete, fenestron fan being hoisted away from the crash site: one is currently illustrating a charmless tale here: Glasgow Pub Crash: Teen Arrested for 'Sectarian' Comments [VIDEO]. Whether it landed in a working condition of course remains a question. Its hub being hoisted away substantially intact is perhaps consistent with it not turning on impact (as probably noted previously in the thread).
