The Search Area?
With the BEA update of today, I have determined that all the positions I have recently plotted were OUT by 1° or 60 minutes in longitude. The references to 31°W should actually be 30°W, and how this error has come about will be investigated. I suspect that the Lloyds data transmitted has been corrupted, but whether that is deliberate or not remains to be sorted.
So shifting all the data I published to the east by 1° confirms what the BEA have published today.
I earlier questioned why the search had proceeded outside of the nominated search zone, when in fact it hadn't. Though on a more sombre note, what the search has proven so far is that the aircraft didn't impact in the areas that have been searched.
Thanks to potorange for stitching the two images together - while I slept.
