On May 9th 2011 the BEA reported the Navy patrol boat has reached the recovery ship, received the black boxes under judicial seal and is on the way to Cayenne. The black boxes are then expected to arrive in Paris by Thursday (May 12th). In the meantime an engine and the avionics bay of the A330 have been recovered both of which contain onboard computers (editorial note: with long term storage devices recording the operating status like the electronic engine control EEC or quick access recorders).
Il 12 le scatole sono Parigi.
