First of all, I think there has been a huge, silent, sigh of relief that a memory module had been retrieved; a tribute to the determination and persistence of all - including AF and AB. I must admit I had the most severe doubts that anything useful would be found and I am delighted that it has. The possibility that the utter disappearance of a modern, well founded airliner was going to remain an almost unexplained mystery was not an edifying one.
Second, for all those SLF and uninitiated on here who, like me, have followed these threads from day one, has it been established definitively that the device recovered is the memory module - ie: the data itself - of the Flight Data Recorder?
