I spoke with a mate this afternoon who is a firey who attended the site and was involved in extricating the bodies of the deceased. He said the wings were not that far apart, and unfortunately most telling that the fuselage landed horizontally, level with the terrain. The roof of the cabin was approximately 600ml above the floor. "Pancaked"!
Appears high vertical speed impact with the ground took place in level pitch attitude.
This from a semi laypersons observation.
Condolences go to all concerned.
RIP young aviators!
