mm43 or takata may have the exact coordinates for the two search boxes flown on June 1, but eyeballing the graphic, it would seem that the search that day covered an area about 20 NM to the left of the track, from the last reported position halfway to Tasil. It is hard to believe that if the plane had impacted within this grid, that evidence of the impact would have been missed. The first bodies and wreckage were recovered on June 6 at about 30 deg 30' N, 3 deg 30' W; an area, where some of which was probably within the search grid flown on June 1.
