Pretty damning indeed.
And they actually wanted to fly this aircraft to the Netherlands!? Amazing.

These investigations take time and this one is probably not the easiest while not the most urgent (there are not that many Convair 340 in service). I...

I am not too much bothered about the paperwork shortcomings as I don't think it had much of an impact on the final outcome.

I certainly question the wisdom of flying paxes in a test flight after...

We shall definitely wait for the full report but there is little reason to doubt the preliminary findings.
We have a "super" CVR in the form of the GoPro. As far as we know they did not communicate...

They might or might not have briefed their contingency plans but from the "uber CVR" we had here it seems that execution was lacking, to say the least.

Yup.

I for one would have gladly signed a waiver to fly this bird (or the JU-52 for that matter) but would have been reluctant to do it straight out of maintenance...
