KZN teenager Liam Lotter is a happy chap, and I suppose so too are the families of those who lost their lives in the MH370 crash back in 2014.

Lotter was holidaying in Mozambique when he stumbled across some plane debris, which has now been confirmed as coming from the Malaysian Airlines Boeing 777 aircraft.

IOL with more:

The report stated that part one, found by Liam Lotter of Wartburg, had been identified, by a number stencilled 676EB, as a segment from a Boeing 777 flap track fairing (fairing no 7) from the right wing.

It stated, “All measurable dimensions, materials, construction and other identifiable features conformed to the applicable Boeing drawings for the identified fairing.

“The 676EB stencil font and colour was not original from manufacture, but instead conformed to that developed and used by MAB during painting operations. The part had been repainted, which was consistent with MAB maintenance records for 9M-MRO”…

Lotter said on Saturday: “I feel happy that I have contributed towards solving the mystery and I am thankful for following my instinct on the beach in Mozambique that afternoon in December. I hope these contributions will bring closure to Malaysian families and to all those who lost family,” he said.

I think I speak for most of us when I say thanks to Liam, now just find the rest of it and wrap this story up once and for all.
