"He said the debris appeared to be sheet metal with rivets."
It's BIG !
"Senior Sergeant Steve Principe at Busselton Police Station told The Busselton-Dunsborough Mail the object in their possession, which had washed up on a beach at Scott River near Augusta, was eight feet (2.43 metres) tall, half a metre wide and was an alloy type of metal.

That's a good point.
Regarding the radar plot you posted about on the previous page, Pontius,
forgive me but is it a plot from one particular radar operator or something cobbled together from two different ones? If it was the latter that might explain the bit in the middle with no information.
I'm probably way off. I like your theory better.

I don't own this space under my name. I should have leased it while I still could

susier, how the radar plot was constructed I don't know.
If it had been a snap-shot then there would have been many different contacts shown.
Instead it was a clean plot showing a succession of plots for just MH370. It was this plot that was shown to the Chinese relatives.
I would speculate that it was a computer generated plot showing the historic plot rather than an image from the radar system.

Two Things
1. The PLOT showed to the chinese families is quite old and has already been disavowed by malaysian authorities. so just forget it. The plane went northeast and made a left turn to a heading that has not been released, but generally in the direction of the thai/malay border (imho shortest way to an airport).
2. LANDING GEAR DOOR...you heard it here first.

glen different plot.
The one with the 270 deg RIGHT turn was a track plot. The one to which I refer is a different radar plot and was not a simple computer plot. It first surfaced via a photograph of the radar plot at a Chinese family briefing. The same plot was subsequently released by the Malaysians with Reuters as one source.
This radar plot is the one showing the last trace at 295/200 together with all the RPs and various FIR and sub region boundaries.

debris...
Speculating (its more likely a boat part)...but Alloy/fiberglass ???GLARE cargo floor debris??? Would likely be one part that could have enough impact strength to not break into a million smaller bits...

"Unidentified material that washed ashore in Australia and is being examined for any link to the lost Malaysian plane is unlikely to have come from the jet, an official revealed today.
The Australian Transport Safety Bureau had been scrutinising photos of the object, which washed ashore six miles east of Augusta in Western Australia state.
But Martin Dolan, chief commissioner of the bureau, said an initial analysis of the material - which appeared to be sheet metal with rivets - suggested it was not from Malaysia Airlines Flight 370".

can you post the radar track and or plot of which you speak. I would like to see it. I just haven't seen the one you are talking about, I am not doubting you.
When you see 10 tons of BS, its easy to miss one tiny diamond!

Washed up scrap on beach - ATSB do not believe to be related
Just for anyone looking for images of what washed up and is deemed unrelated at this stage by the ATSB:
Repeat : DEEMED NOT RELATED so don't go crazy with guessing which part of the aircraft it was from :-)

Where did you get the picture from? I can't find it in the article.

Given your handle you must have a pretty good idea yourself.
