Mozambique authorities on Monday exhibited three new pieces of aircraft that washed up along its coast and are suspected of belonging to the missing flight MH370. The largest item is a triangular shaped piece which is red and white on one side and metallic on the other. It was picked up late last month by a South African hotelier off the waters of Mozambique's southern province of Inhambane. Joao de Abreu, director of Mozambique's aviation authority said it was the first time a coloured piece had been found. He said the piece could be "an aileron, a flap,(or) an elevator." On the inside, "we can see a label which will make it much easier to identify which aircraft it belongs to," he said. The other two pieces are smaller and were picked up by the son of a European Union diplomat near the southern resort of Xai Xai and handed to the authorities last month, he said, giving no further details. The items will be sent to Malaysia for examination. <br/>

Relatives of some of the 239 passengers and crew lost in the missing Malaysia airliner will fly to Australia on Tuesday in a quest to better understand developments in the search for wreckage and to find some closure more than two years after the tragedy, the daughter of a missing passenger said Monday. Grace Nathan is among four Malaysians traveling Tuesday to Perth near the southwest coast port where the ships that scour the seabed of the southern Indian Ocean for wreckage of Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 are based. Nathan said two Chinese, an Indonesian, several Australians and American wreckage hunter Blaine Gibson would join her group, which will also travel to the search headquarters in Canberra where a wing flap from the missing Boeing 777 is being examined for clues. Nathan, whose mother Anne Daisy was aboard the flight that flew far off course on its way from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, to Beijing on March 8, 2014, said the group did not want the search to end in December if the entire 120,000-square-kilometer search area was examined and nothing was found. Less than 10,000 square kilometers of seabed has yet to be searched. The 28-year-old Kuala Lumpur lawyer said she was interested in drifting modeling work currently underway in Australia to define a new search area in case the current search turns up nothing. "We want to try to better understand what they are trying to do and we want to know what we can do to push for the search to go on," Nathan said.<br/>
