Right-wing flap-track fairing — Mozambique
Item 2 · stencil 676EB · almost certain
Recovered at Daghatane Beach. MAS maintenance stencil. ATSB: almost certainly MH370. Independent finder: Blaine Gibson.
Part of the western-Indian-Ocean debris field CSIRO reverse-drifted toward the 7th arc. Confirmation class is almost certain (Boeing 777 construction plus Malaysia Airlines stencil without a unique serial). Jeff Wise has questioned the luck of the find; identification of the part class is a separate question from chain-of-custody of the discovery.
