Before the FDR/CVR stop calling us?

How do you 'confirm' a primary radar return (possibly 200nm WNW of Penang VOR) being that of flight MH370?

Together with all the cavorting about (FL45, FL295, 45,000 feet, FL120, etc etc), was that confirmed as being MH370?

If you take the left turn at the FIR boundary as its Last Known Position; if you believe that a crew in trouble is most likely to turn off the airway and head for 'home' if only 40 mins out from KUL; and if you use the data from all Inmarsat 'ping' arcs (do we have them yet?); and using all Capt Kremin's good works with isogonals etc, do we not then get as likely an impact point as they are hoping to obtain by backtracking 18-day old debris?

Especially if the 'final' arc is used as the impact arc - the partial ping at 0019hrs UTC (was it?)

It would be a good place to start trailing your TPL-25 towed array, whilst waiting for a better spot...
