Wily flier,
I seem to recall that a freighter picked up a spoiler about 45 km NW of StPeter & St Pauls. This matches Takatas latest Hypothesis but doesnt show on his plot.

It also seems to support a more consistent and constant rate of drift from the discovery point of the first most southerly items

(The report came on PPrune after the VS was first picked up, but I havent been find it . There is a post #1325 June 13 which has a pic of freighter and spoiler, but I cant find any seperate report text now,

.....the merchant ship picked up that piece of the plane north of Tasil on June 13.

See the Powetpoint slide for June 13 on the Brazilian Air Force site:
