Mozambique authorities on Monday exhibited three new pieces of aircraft that washed up along its coast and are suspected of belonging to the missing flight MH370. The largest item is a triangular shaped piece which is red and white on one side and metallic on the other.
It was picked up late last month by a South African hotelier off the waters of Mozambique’s southern province of Inhambane. Joao de Abreu, director of Mozambique’s aviation authority said it was the first time a coloured piece had been found.
He said the piece could be “an aileron, a flap,(or) an elevator.” On the inside, “we can see a label which will make it much easier to identify which aircraft it belongs to,” he said. The other two pieces are smaller and were picked up by the son of a European Union diplomat near the southern resort of Xai Xai and handed to the authorities last month, he said, giving no further details.
