<p>The search for the missing Malaysian Airliner MH370 is an extremely difficult and
complex operation. The UK has made a number of contributions to the investigation
and search for MH370. The UK Air Accidents Investigation Branch has appointed an accredited
representative and an advisor to assist in the investigation, and representatives
from Rolls Royce and Inmarsat also provided initial support. Experts from the UK Ministry
of Defence, the Hydrographic Office, and the Met Office, have also co-operated with
Malaysia and other international partners to analyse available data to help locate
the aircraft.</p><p> </p><p>In addition, the UK deployed submarine HMS Tireless and
survey vessel HMS Echo to support the search effort for a signal from MH370's black
box. With the Australian command assessing that there is no prospect of further acoustic
detections associated with the aircraft's black box, HMS Tireless and HMS Echo have
been stood down. RAF personnel have also participated in Royal Australian Air Force
and Royal New Zealand Air Force operations to search for wreckage of MH370.</p><p>
</p><p>The Air Accidents Investigations Branch, working as part of an international
team, continues to give its full support to the investigation and to share its expertise
and analysis with the Malaysian authorities and international partners.</p><p> </p><p
