BOAC,
May be a bit too soon, still, to throw in your cards. Several promising areas of seabed have emerged from this thread's event analysis during the summer, where the lawn has not yet been mowed by the ROVs: near the LKP and southeastward towards the "slick." BEA, too, is revisiting their search assessments and calcs, and should present findings soon. Never having won the Lotto, for some reason I remain an optimist.
Being a recovering gadfly (but more of an iconoclast), I would join HN39 in welcoming Bearfoil's contributions. Masking out the anti-establishment invective, he has made some valid points. I myself often wonder how the Crew Rest with very little accompanying cargo hold luggage was ejected, not to mention PAX distributed from the very front to the very back of the A/C, in BEA's "flat" splash scenario.
