Five flaperon do not a 777 make.
And, talking of ‘making’; there is absolutely no truth in the scurrilous rumour that the lonesome five were conceived, designed, discussed, approved, funded, ordered, built, tested and stored before ‘the discovery’; none whatsoever.
It’s ridiculous to assume that because ‘Slamdams’ are cheaper, plentiful, easy to manage and are tested proven; you would use a hundred or so during the search, while the aircraft were airborne in the area. Not when the Beaker “bath tub” prototype can be deployed 2 years after the event. Five little flaperons v the mighty Indian ocean; no wonder Foley has his hands over his brains.
Perhaps we should give Dolan a rowing boat, a survival at sea manual, two packets of biscuits, a big bottle of kool aid and a hand cranked MF transceiver to follow the famous five to their ultimate destination; he can have a nice little holiday into the bargain while solving the mystery.
Well may you ask “WTF are they thinking?” If this is the best they can manage, the end product of all their thinking; then MH 370 is, indeed, lost for all time.
