Psychologist a curious addition

Come on. The limited view of the wreckage in the BEA photos should be indicative. The Alucia crew will all have seen much more gruesome detail and the Ile de Sein...

With regard to BEA's deciding not to have a Brazilian family group representative on board Ile de Sein during the recovery process, probably a good idea. One assumes there will be no rep for French...

Alucia

And as for the "Alucia", last picked up by AIS north of Trinidad on 11 March, doing 11.8 knots. The ETA Recife, 18 March I think it was, looks good.
