Malaysia plane: UK submarine joins search

    
British submarine HMS Tireless has joined the hunt for missing Malaysia Airlines flight MH370.

The Ministry of Defence said the Trafalgar class submarine had arrived in the southern Indian Ocean.

The vessel’s ability to listen deep underwater could help find the plane’s black box recorder, the BBC’s defence correspondent Jonathan Beale said.

The aircraft disappeared with 239 people on board on March 8 while en route from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing.
