(10) Section of right hand aft fuselage structure (Target 263: see App C Volume 2 pp 78.)

The structure fractured at body stations 1940 and 2140 and at strangers 13R and 24R with a small section extending below cabin floor level. Although exposed to the main deck cargo compartment, the insulation blankets in this area provided adequate protection to prevent the formation of smoke deposits.

(11) Piece of R/H aft fuselage structure. (Target 221: see App C Volume 2 p 7.)

This piece of fuselage structure fractured at body stations 2120 and 2220 and at stringers 5R and 15R. The structure mates with target 263 at body station 2120 and stringer 15R. Limited heat damage and smoke deposits were evident along the upper section above stringer 7R.
