I have been looking for some info but yet to find any.

Like the story mentioned they were training the new pilots for the up coming season and if any have ever seen the BA's solo pilot routines  it would be easy to understand something going wrong. Especially for a first timer.

As for the cause - could have been anything. Speculation is pointless....

I should become an aircraft accident investigator. I appear to have a natural talent for it. ;D
