We may have, but we're Not_telling!
Foul on Ocelot for not following Parlour Talk Interweb Fora Procedures and not_listing a linky.
(More evidence that women do not belong in aviation...JUST KIDDING, your posts are quality and appreciated and your humor is solid and we love you.)
I note two really big things in the linky.
1. I do not_see mention of the scientific aeroengineer estimates of possible single engine rates of climb.
2. Figure 2- and not_the unextinguised fire,
BUT the aileron that seems to be cocked up.

Me thinks if engine 1 is dragging, the aeroplanie will try to turn left and go left-wing-down and to compensate, the aileron would be downward. However, this is consistent with the comment "we've lost aileron". Possible causes: something in the engine compartment breaks or burns or melts a control cable, or the control cable is severed by a small meteorite.
Oh, there's actually a third, was there potential for improved phugoid management to improve the outcome of this crash- I find no discussion of this in the interim report.
Ok, 4- the discussion of the weather mentions circuit breaker clouds and the report also shows cockpit photos of cumulonimbus switches.
Sorry that the acronym dude did died.
