A few years ago, the repositioned parts of the roof section including the ADF windows of G-ALYP were on display in the Science Museum as seen in this image. (They are no longer exhibited.)

It was a very sobering experience to be looking down on these pieces in such a very mundane and static state and yet not at all difficult to imagine something of the few seconds of utterly catastrophic trauma that surrounded and included them just over the period of my own lifetime ago.
No doubt those that have dealt or deal now with the aftermath of any such events will know well of such reflections...
