A tech expert from the UK claims he has spotted the doomed MH370 plane on Google Maps.

Ian Wilson believes remains of the missing Malaysia Airlines plane, which vanished carrying 239 people en route from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing , lie strewn deep in a jungle in Cambodia.

The video producer now plans to visit the dense terrain to prove his chilling theory.

He said: "Measuring the Google sighting, you're looking at around 69 metres, but there looks to be a gap between the tail and the back of the plane.

"It's just slightly bigger, but there's a gap that would probably account for that."

The ill-fated plane flight took off from the Malaysian capital on March 8, 2014, with 227 passengers on board and 12 crew.

But it disappeared during a handover between Malaysian and Vietnamese air-traffic controllers with the transponder shut down.

Mr Wilson told Daily Star Online : "I was on there [Google Earth], a few hours here, a few hours there. If you added it up I spent hours searching for places a plane could have gone down.

"And in the end, as you can see the place where the plane is. It is literally the greenest, darkest part you can see."

Investigators have worked extensively since the plane vanished.

However, despite releasing a 1,500-page report , they admitted they still cannot say what happened.

And the Bureau of Aircraft Investigations Archives said they could not rule out the Google Maps sighting – dating 2018 on Google Earth – being MH370.
