AF 447 SAR Effort
Further to my previous post, Brazilian Navy corvette Caboclo is currently carrying out retrieval duties. After collecting the two previously mentioned bodies, the ship´s crew retrieved passenger oxygen masks, a blue-upholstered passenger seat (with serial number) and a large number of personal effects.
The two bodies were found some 900 km from SBFN
Cv Caboclo will remain on site to search and collect whatever it finds until late this afternoon and Sunday morning, when it will transfer all that it collected to the frigate Constituição. The frigate will then sail to a point 250 km E of SBFN, when it will launch its Super Lynx helicopter to SBFN with bodies and whatever material was collected by the Caboclo. Bodies and material will then undergo preliminary identification and will subsequently be flown to SBNT.
Cheers
