Royal Navy submarine HMS Tireless has arrived in the southern Indian Ocean to help in the search for missing Malaysia Airlines flight MH370.
The Trafalgar Class submarine arrived yesterday in the area – the focus of the search for the missing Boeing 777 – where it will help in the hunt for the plane’s flight recorders.
Flight MH370, bound for Beijing from Kuala Lumpur, disappeared on March 8 with 239 people on board, with a three-week search finding no sign of it.
The search area, which has repeatedly shifted as experts analyse radar and satellite data, is currently focused on a 98,000-square mile area off Perth, Australia.
Royal Navy survey ship HMS Echo is due to begin search efforts tomorrow, but a source said that Defence Secretary Philip Hammond has called his Malaysian counterpart to say that HMS Tireless has arrived in the area, where it is searching for the flight recorders.
