Sonof a bucc in reference to XV345 being fitted with a FDR you are indeed correct I attended a seminar in the astra cinema at Laarbruch just shortly after the aircraft were to start flying again and the FDR trace was shown and explained ther was no mention or indeed any evidence or mention of any hard manoeuvre being carried out and IIRC they data trace was very stable to the point of the wing moving i also remember it being explained of corrective aileron being applied prior to seperation.

It may also be worth mentioning that the previous accident blamed on the wing pin was never actually proved as the suspect pin was never in fact recovered and it was assumed that the pin had shattered in flight.
