Press conference underway. Little new info.

They did say that they (Malaysians) are dispatching 2x ships with 1x SuperLynx helo between them to the southern zone. He did stress that the (single) helo can operate from either vessel!

This is a tiny, tiny, tiny fraction of the resource needed to stand even a chance of finding any wreckage. I wonder whether, if the entire US Navy were deployed to the Indian Ocean on SAROPS, even they would find any trace?

I now believe it's unlikely that MH370 will ever be found, but rather that this will be an enduring mystery that our grandchildren ask us about. We can tell them we followed it closely in real-time on long-defunct aviation forum PPRuNe...
