Just seen this in FB. Hopefully it'll answer some questions for the poor families.

[237SJ]

Let`s face it, the aircraft never went down off NE Australia - everyone knows that.

[237SJ]

Sorry, meant NW Australia

[rockyracoon]

Clearly not. I wonder if they'll find more wreckage. It seems this piece was found on the beach.

[rockyracoon]

Would the black box be worthless after all this time?

[237SJ]

The black box locator beacon died a long time ago but the data from the black box should hopefully be OK

[rockyracoon]

Fingers crossed they find it. Not an easy task I'd say.

PPRUNE seems to think it is MH 370

PPRUNE is THE place for anything to do with aircraft !

[237SJ]

Pprune is an aviation rumour network. Rumours are rife in aviation (tell me about it, I have worked in that industry for eons) and a lot of people on Pprune are plane spotters.

i love the thread about the strangest cargo carried .
It has a 'plane spotters corner' but most posts are by airline professionals .

Eddie - you don

[237SJ]

Sorry, pressed the wrong button. Eddie, you don

[237SJ]

Plane spotters corner sums up Pprune according to my OH who flies Jumbos. Still, each to their own

Very short film clip of the piece on BBC. Maybe 6ft long and half as tall as the people handling it. Looked almost aerofoil section, as seen end-on.

No surface dents, wrinkles, or cracks. Nothing to indicate high velocity impact with water. If you recall the Comoros ditching, then I'm suggesting this piece entered the water more gently than that.

Just heard some expert being interviewed by Mr Humphries. Apparently it should fairly easy to identify the exact plane that this bit is from.

But I still don't understand how this aircraft could disappear from everybody's radar.

Good morning. May be there is a cut off point across vast tracks of ocean which no country's radar will reach. A sort of black spot and the pilot knew where they were. That is one wild guess.

It is a very interesting piece of news worth following. I think I'll always speculate, until proved wrong, that this was a deliberate act by the pilot to fly into oblivion until it crashed.
