| The fuselage opening is placed underneath to make it possible that the flaperon connection runs straight and without complications. |
|
| Mr Truss told a press conference that a number stamped on the flaperon could be used to quickly identify whether it is from the missing plane. |
|

|

|

|
| Malaysia's Transport Minister Liow Tiong Lai said tests in France had made this link with a recentlydiscovered flaperon from an airplane wing. |
