Experts examining role wing flaps may have played in crash

"When I'm looking at this," says aviation analyst Geoffrey Thomas, "the undercarriage is still down but the flaps have been retracted."

This means the flaps were in line with the wing, which he says is very unusual so soon after take-off.

"The undercarriage is normally retracted within 10-15 seconds, and the flaps are then retracted over a period of 10-15 minutes," he says,

Another expert, Terry Tozer, says: "It's very hard to say from the video for sure, it doesn't look as if the flaps are extended and that would be a perfectly obvious explanation for an aircraft not completing its take off correctly."
