DHAKA: Australia expects to make a quick deliberation on whether possible debris seen at sea is indeed from flight MH370, a report said on Thursday, but a first spotter flight failed to locate anything in bad weather.

Authorities should know something definite on the possible discovery of debris from the missing Malaysia Airlines plane within ‘two or three days’, the Australian Associated Press quoted Australia defence minister David Johnston as saying in Jakarta, reports The Straits Times.

But a Royal Australian Air Force Orion sent on Thursday to investigate possible wreckage from the Boeing 777 failed to spot debris, the Australian Maritime Safety Authority (AMSA) said.

The P-3 surveillance aircraft was sent to the Indian Ocean search zone some 2,500 kilometres southwest of Perth after Australia revealed the presence of two objects at sea possibly related to flight MH370.

‘RAAF P3 crew unable to locate debris. Cloud & rain limited visibility,’ AMSA said on its Twitter feed.

‘Further aircraft to continue search for #MH370.’
