If I was a betting man.. I would be putting my money on South African Airways Flight 295
It would not be. I saw part of an engine cowling from the
Helderberg that drifted ashore some eighteen months after it went down off Mauritius (next island to Reunion) and washed up in Natal, South Africa. It already had barnacles and other marine growth on it from its journey across the Indian Ocean. After 30 years - no way.
