FRANCE SAYS WING PART FOUND AT REUNION IS FROM MH370

The piece of wing found on the shore of Reunion Island in the
Indian Ocean has been formally identified as part of the
wreckage of Malaysian Airlines flight MH370, according to the
Paris prosecutor's office.
The part, known as a flaperon, was found on the shore of the
French-governed island on July 29 and Malaysian authorities have
said paint colour and maintenance-record matches proved it
came from the missing Boeing 777 aircraft.
The French prosecutor, who had until Thursday's statement
been more cautious on its provenance, said a technician from
Airbus Defence and Space (ADS-SAU) in Spain, which had
made the part for Boeing, had formally identified one of three
numbers found on the flaperon as being the serial number of
the MH370 Boeing 777.
