MH370 was on a routine flight from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing on 8 March 2014 with 227 passengers and 12 crew on board when it veered off course and then flew south across the Indian Ocean.
Despite two large-scale searches of the sea bed off the coast of western Australia, only scattered pieces of debris have been found washed up on several beaches.
But a new search is under way after Daily Star Online revealed a Google Maps snap that some believe prove a plane had crashed in a high-altitude jungle in Cambodia.
Ian Wilson, a British video producer, was convinced he had found the missing jet in a mountainous area on the outskirts of Phnom Penh after finding pictures that appear to show a 70 metre plane – a close match to the 63.7m of the missing Malaysia Airlines Boeing 777.
And one group has now completed the first helicopter search of the area in the hope of being awarded the £53million finders fee from the Malaysian government, who last month published their final report into the disappearance.
