Very interesting observation if you look at the photos you'll notice
the first one impact is about 15-20' in front of the line and the last
one is behind the line on the runway. How is the Swift moving
backwards during the impact sequence?

Some years ago one of my syndicate partners spun our glider in from a
slow autotow launch, with fatal consequences. That impacted nose down
on the runway and bounced several metres backwards. It was a wooden
glider and there was very little left of the cockpit forward of the
leading edge of the wing.
