I've been following this discussion with interest. I was at Carfest and saw this terrible crash. I've seen a couple of pictures taken just before the crash and I was wondering if they show a problem which may have had a bearing on the incident. These images have both been sent to the AAIB before anyone asks. I didn't take them.
I have no flying experience and am as far from being en expert as it's possible to get.
So, to my layman's eye, it looks like there
may be something wrong with the ailerons. In these images, the left one looks to be "up" much more than the right is "down" (if it's even down at all, I can't tell). Maybe this is normal, I really don't know.
All I
see is that there is clear air visible between the inboard end of the left aileron and the rest of the wing, but none between the right and its wing. I don't really know what to infer from that though.
Can anyone with more experience of these things cast any light on this? Am I seeing something wrong with the plane or am I just wrong in my understanding?
My attempt at an edit showing the wings
