A MH370 expert has claimed he found the plane’s hidden flightpath which gives a clue about where the jet could have ended up.
The aircraft disappeared after taking off from Kuala Lumpur for Beijing in March 2014.
It vanished around 40 minutes into its journey as 239 passengers and crew disappeared with it.
A retired British aerospace engineer remains “absolutely convinced it will only take one more search” to locate the lost plane.

Richard Godfrey told the BBC: “I think we have not found MH370 simply because we did not look wide enough from the seventh arc.
“I'm absolutely convinced it will only take one more search and we will find MH370.”
Simon Maskell, Professor of Autonomous Systems at the University of Liverpool, added: “It's completely conceivable that WPSR works.
“It's not yet proven. Proving whether WSPR works is what we're trying to do now.”

He added: “What we want to do is to use all the data globally from all the aeroplanes that are flying, in a day, and that will give us several times as much data as Richard has previously been able to consider.”
Australia has so far led the search for MH370, with 21 aircraft and 19 ships.
The search was conducted across a 12,000-square-mile corridor of water known as the seventh arc.
The operation is estimated to have cost £120million by the time the large-scale search was called off by the Australian, Malaysian and Chinese governments.

Recent developments come just days after it was revealed that a US company had new evidence about MH370.
The company’s chief executive officer Oliver Plunkett said: “We now feel in a position to be able to return to the search for MH370, and have submitted a proposal to the Malaysian government.
“Finding MH370 and bringing some resolution for all connected with the loss of the aircraft has been a constant in our minds since we left the southern Indian Ocean in 2018.
“Since then, we have focused on driving the transformation of operations at sea; innovating with technology and robotics to further advance our ocean search capabilities.”
