UPDATE: The AAIB Final Report into the incident was published on 11 August 2022 (see link #1), and the following is the summary from that report...
"AAIB investigation to Boeing 737-8K5, G-TAWY. Tail strike on takeoff, Manchester Airport, 9 March 2022.
During takeoff on a training flight the trainee co-pilot rotated the aircraft too rapidly, causing the aircraft’s tail to strike the runway. The co-pilot had experienced several delays during his training which would have made it harder to learn the correct technique. His low experience coupled with a slight crosswind is likely to have exacerbated the situation".
