DEBRIS ALMOST CERTAINLY FROM FLIGHT MH370

Two pieces of plane debris found washed up on beaches in Mozambique - one discovered last December and the other this February - almost certainly came from missing Malaysia Airlines flight 370, the Australian Transport Safety Bureau said on Wednesday.

One was a flap track fairing segment, the other, found about 135 miles from the first, was a horizontal stabiliser panel segment. 

A report said they were both 'almost certainly' from the missing Malaysia Airlines Boeing 777, registered 9M-MRO. 

Darren Chester, Australian minister for infrastructure and transport, said he "welcomed" the report.

"Stenciling on both parts of debris provided investigators with evidence of the link. The font and color of a number stenciled on the first part conforms to that developed and used by Malaysian Airlines," he said. 

Earlier this month some debris thought to be part of a bulkhead from inside the cabin was discovered at Rodriguez island near Mauritius, however it has yet to be examined.

MH370's disappearance is one of the aviation’s biggest mysteries. The plane vanished from radar on March 8, 2014 while en route from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, to Beijing, with 239 people on board.
