Technical experts in France were to begin examining the flaperon, already confirmed to have come from a Boeing 777, in Toulouse later Wednesday after it washed up on the Indian Ocean island of La Reunion.
“Malaysian and French officials may be in a position to make a formal statement about the origin of the flaperon later this week,” said Australian Deputy Prime Minister Warren Truss.
