Mike,
I know that for some time now the AAIB and the PFA/LAA have been looking
at the failure of the right hand wing rear drag pin being the cause of
the accident and you can certainly read that into the report, but I
agree that it does take some reading to figure it all out.

After reading the report I am left not fully understanding which came
first.....thus causing the second.
Did the rear lift/drag pin of the right wing fail, causing enough up
and down movement to overstress the tailplane enough for it to disengage
---From the tailplane drive pins, causing significant up and down gyrations
to cause the further and final failure of the right wing?
Or did the tailplane disengaging cause the failure of the right wing
rear lift/drag pin?
