The investigators and experts participating in the identification of the probable missing MH370 wreckage arrived early on Wednesday afternoon in a military laboratory in Toulouse, according to Xinhua journalists on site.

The investigators are to start studying the piece of plane wreckage which was found last Wednesday on Reunion Island, in order to determine if it belongs to the missing Malaysia Airlines flight 370 which has disappeared for more than 16 months.

The debris, found on Reunion Island on Wednesday last week is about 2 to 2.5 meters long, and will be checked by experts at the military-run General Directorate of Armaments (DGA) in Toulouse suburbs.

The flight, a Boeing 777-200, went missing en route from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing on March 8, 2014, with a total of 239 people on board, most of them Chinese nationals. Endit
