Yeah I understood that it was a stall/spin scenario on Victor 1 - are you saying what I think you're saying ie. this (Batemans Bay) aircraft had disintegrated before it hit the surface? I know there was talk about something flying off beforehand, maybe even something fairly significant, but that poor plane looks as though it's been fed through a threshing machine.
I don't think it spun, just plunged without lift according to everyone I know who witnessed the dive into the ocean. Stalled...communicating, not flying the aircraft. I thought
your implication re Batemans was something structural.
OT re Victor 1. I recall seeing aftermath C172 after landing (flipped in surf) in 1985 not 200m from other V1 accident as a result of carb icing. Pilot made a decent attempt at landing on beach flying the a/c down but flipped in the surf along shoreline. All 4 occupants were able to walk away.
