It does appear to have been angled downwards at impact though, from the pictures.
Please don't think I'm being obtuse, but I don't think it's possible to draw that conclusion? All the photographs I have seen speak only to the final resting position of the aircraft, not the moment of impact.
I'm actually more curious as to why there doesn't seem to have been much discussion about why it might have been flying very low and making odd noises some time before whatever caused the final crash sequence.
There is a reasonably straightforward theory which 'fits', but not one I am prepared to put forward, as it would be totally speculative.

The only people with any factual idea are in Farnborough. We will hear from them when they consider it appropriate and accurate.
