Until we see the results of the AAIB investigation we can only speculate as to
what really happened.
However, regarding the flutter theory due to sloppy tailplanes, consider:
1 -- How many Europas are known to have suffered tailplane flutter and fallen to
pieces while flying?
2 -- How many Europas have rather sloppy tailplanes and have been flying like
that
for some time (possibly years)?
I am not saying that we should not be checking/improving the integrity of the
tailplanes.
