Summary
Item 23 - Unidentified Part
This item was recovered from Riake Beach, Nosy Bohara Island, Madagascar in October 2016.
The item was brought back to Malaysia for the identification and further examination by the Team.
The part structure construction characteristics showed that it was not part of the aircraft structure. It appeared more likely to be from the aircraft interior based on the vinyl and edge sealant which was on the part. The vinyl and sealant colour on the part matched that of the parts generally used in aircraft galleys. Although it appeared to be part of an aircraft interior there is no conclusive evidence to indicate whether the part could have actually originated from an aircraft.
