Update - Vietnam SAR

According to a Thanh Nien report, a "composite inner wall window piece" would have been spotted by a Vietnamese marine police seaplane (the DHC-6?) at N473208 E1032226. The seaplane had to return [presumably due to nightfall.]

The coordinate must be erroneous, but the description is the most fitting so far. Let's see if it holds. The news item said "the pilot could take pictures, but not clearly".

Disclamer, as usual: Based on Google translation.

EDIT: Dantri gives the coordinate as N083247, which puts the sighting 14NM to NE of the AN-26 sighting earlier today and 44NM / 82 km SSW of Tho Chu.
