and also from the earlier report ...

"The gearbox, (serial number M2092) had remained attached to the airframe by
the flexible mounting plate, which is designed to react the gearbox torque. The
mounting plate had sustained little damage in the accident. This observation
was pertinent in that it helped to exclude the possibility of a lift strut failure as
being a primary cause of the accident, since such an event would transfer lift
loads, via the gearbox, into the mounting plate causing obvious distortion"
