Plane Wreckage Found And It Could Match Missing Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370

A French aviation expert Xavier Tytelman believes he may have found the wreckage of MH370 - the Malaysia Airlines flight which disappeared off the coast of Malaysia in March 2014.

Xavier is a former military pilot who now specialises in aviation security. He was contacted on Wednesday morning by a man living on the island of Reunion, in the Indian Ocean. The man sent Xavier a series of photos showing wreckage of a plane, which the Frenchman said could possibly be the missing jet.

"I've been studying hundreds of photos and speaking to colleagues," Xavier told The Telegraph.

"Police in Reunion examining the wreckage say that it looks like it's been in the water for around a year, which again would fit with MH370. We can't say for certainty, but we do think there is a chance that this is it."

"The French police are now looking at it, and the Australians - who are in charge of the search - are interested too," he said. "We don't know how long it will take to get confirmation or a definite denial. But it's an intriguing development."

"If the flaperon does indeed belong to MH370, it's clear that the reference will be swiftly identified. In a few days we will have a definitive answer."
