In a recent paper about MH370, written by Capt. Patrick Blelly, Jean-Luc Marchand and an anonymous source called [email protected], they claim that the Malaysian military radar data has been released by Geoscience Australia.

Mr Richard Godfrey, who developed the revolutionary WSPR tracking of MH370 to find a new location, contacted trise5631 and was shown how to download the data. He said that there are two files called RADAR_Polylines and RADAR_Points. How to download the files and an analysis of the data can be found in his paper here

When you download the files Mr Godfrey said that "it is clear from the descriptions, that the positions are “indicative only” and the layers are designed to support the generation of the story map application “The data behind the search for MH370” on the Geoscience website. The data files have been viewed over 145,000 times since their creation on 21st April 2017. The files have been updated in May and July 2017."

Mr Godfrey said that "these are files supporting a Geoscience Australia website graphic and are not a Malaysian military radar official data release. The data is 7 years old and not a new disclosure. The data has been viewed over 145,000 times and is not a newly divulged secret."

GET: Accurate MH370 Information From AirlineRatings.com Newsletter

Airlineratings.com is packed with information about air travel and answers questions that many of us may have thought of, but didn’t know who to ask. Well, now you do!

Airlineratings.com was developed to provide everyone in the world with a one-stop shop for everything related to airlines, formed by a team of aviation editors, who have forensically researched nearly every airline in the world.

Our rating system is rated from one to seven stars on safety – with seven being the highest ranking. Within each airline, you will find the country of origin, airline code, booking URL and seat map information. The rating system takes into account a number of different factors related to audits from aviation’s governing bodies, lead associations as well as the airline’s own safety data. Every airline has a safety rating breakdown so you can see exactly how they rate.

Over 230 of the airlines on the site that carry 99 per cent of the world’s passengers have a product rating. Given that low-cost, regional and full-service carriers are so different we have constructed a different rating system for each which can be found within each airline.

Airlineratings.com has information on over 30 types of aircraft from the latest Boeing 787 to the A380 and smaller jets.

Best of all, there are simple answers to many of the quirky questions including:

  • “What are all those noises after takeoff and before landing?”
  • “Why do you have to put the window shades up for landing and takeoff?”
  • “What is a winglet and what is it for?
  • “Why is it so costly to fly short distances?”
  • “How often is an aircraft maintained?
  • “How strong is a wing?”
  • “How do they test aircraft”
  • “How often do plane tyres need to be replaced?”
