Good one Byron, the points made re “experts” are spot on.  The Ben Sandilands  Plane Talking article is as usual drawing comments: these

11) Probably well known now that the French Ministry of Defence is taking over coordination of the search for parts or MH370 through the Prefect of Reunion. France is allocating more assets to the search, including a CASA aircraft, helicopters and unspecified maritime.

12) And I forgot to mention that the above was at the request of the President and Prime Minister of France, which gives some weight to bring the search and presumably its publicity under a measure of control and validation before release of any results.

from Aero Eng Aviator brings IMO the best bit of MH 370 news to date; finally a chance of probity and expert assistance.  Gods know, the investigation could use it.  Choc frog to Aero.
