Smoke was detected in multiple places on board the missing EgyptAir flight MS804 minutes before it crashed, French investigators have confirmed, as the Egyptian military released pictures of the plane’s debris.

Signs of smoke were picked up in a toilet and in the aircraft’s electronics, according to data from the Aircraft Communications Addressing and Reporting System (Acars), which routinely transmits data to airlines about the condition of their planes.

As the search for the plane’s flight recorders continued, the Egyptian military released pictures of some the debris recovered on Friday. Photographs of a life vest, parts of the plane’s chairs and other wreckages were posted on the Facebook page of the armed services spokesman.
In France, investigators confirmed the data about smoke warnings that was ta was first reported by the website Aviation Herald.

The warnings came at about 2.26am on Thursday local time just before air traffic controllers lost contact with the plane, which plunged into the Mediterranean killing all 66 on board during a scheduled flight from Paris to Cairo.

David Learmount, a consulting editor at Flight Global, said the data presented the beginning of a sequence of events that could be “the answer to what happened”, but could not confirm whether the fire was triggered by an act of terrorism or an electrical fault.

“There’s a report of smoke in the forward lavatory [and] a minute later there’s smoke in the avionics bay, which is very worrying; and then two minutes later the flight control computers, one after the other, start to fail,” Learmount told BBC Radio 4’s Today programme.

“Now the question we are left with is did this start with an ordinary electrical fault, a short circuit which started a fire, or was the fire started deliberately with a small explosion or an incendiary device?

“It could still be terrorism but it looks as if the aircraft went out of control because the controls were literally burning up.”

“We’ve got the beginning of a sequence of events which looks as if it’s the answer to what happened,” he said. “But we don’t know if it’s terrorism that started this or an electrical fault.”

Planes and vessels from Egypt and five other countries continued to search a wide area of the eastern Mediterranean on Saturday, a day after the Egyptian army found debris from the passenger jet in the sea 180 miles (290km) north of the Egyptian port city of Alexandria, including a “body part”, two seats and suitcases.

“A short while ago we were briefed by the Egyptian authorities ... on the discovery of a body part, a seat and baggage just south of where the aircraft signal was lost,” the Greek defence minister, Panos Kammenos, told reporters in Athens.

A European satellite on Friday picked up a mile-long oil slick about 25 miles (40km) south of the aircraft’s last known position.

A spokesman for France’s Bureau of Investigations and Analysis told AFP on Saturday: “There were Acars messages emitted by the plane indicating that there was smoke in the cabin shortly before data transmission broke off.”

The spokesman said it was “far too soon to interpret and understand the cause of Thursday’s accident as long as we have not found the wreckage or the flight data recorders”.

The plane had taken a normal course through Greek airspace before abruptly taking sharp turns. The plane crashed at about 2.30am local time on Thursday while carrying 56 passengers, including Briton Richard Osman, and 10 crew. All those on board died.

Despite theories that a bomb may have been smuggled on board, no claim of responsibility has so far been made by Islamic State or other terrorist groups.
