I've checked the dashcam against radar and the debris field and I'm still curious as to the track, if the dashcam is to be believed.

The extended line of bulla road northwards, points to the intersection of the two runways.
The dash cam video taken from bulla road shows the plane coming from camera left, from the western side of bulla road.

This would mean the aircraft if tacking off from runway 17, turned left at a point well past the runway intersection. But this would be a hard left bank which is not born out in the dashcam video.

There is more left to right component in the movement portrayed on the (crappy) video than rear to forward component. In theory we should be seeing a more frontal view of the plane.
