What is a bit interesting is the Debris map in the report. A new information for me was for instance that a section of a M/R blade were found at some distance to the M/R.
Rotor and fairings around the rotor are lying far away from the wreckage while especially the second stage gear wheels are marked very close to the impact site. Strangely the first stage gear wheel being found a little bit further away from the point of impact of the main wreckage.


What I find striking is the fact that they can't judge if the front suspension bar separated by force or by losing a pin. With the bits and pieces they have at least this should be identifiable where it separated and if this was due to overload fracture.
For the MGB they are probably still lacking a number of parts of the epicyclic module.
