Wreckage found in Indian Ocean

Wreckage has been described as "Definitely the flap off a very large aircraft", given the pictures and in the spirit of debate, could it possibly be the wing off a very small one?

I don't think a wing could me mistaken for a flap

Experts are saying that it is definitely a flap/eron off a 777.

How many 777's have crashed in that area lately

If it looks like a duck, smells like a duck... it is probably MH370.

In Rumours and News there is a thread running that shows pictures of the part washed up and compares them to Boeing's engineer drawings, looks quite possible that it is a flaperon from MH370.
