Blaine Gibson made the find on an island in eastern Madagascar
New pieces of debris have been found in Madagascar by a man searching for parts of missing flight MH370.
Blaine Gibson, who has already found possible debris in Mozambique, made the latest discovery on the east coast of Madagascar.
One of the parts resembles an aeroplane seat part. Mr Gibson has sent images of the finds to investigators.
MH370, flying from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing, had 239 people on board when it vanished in March 2014.
The Malaysia Airlines flight is presumed to have crashed into the southern Indian Ocean after veering off course.
The latest find was made on Riake beach, on the island of Nosy Boraha in north-east Madagascar.
A number of other pieces of debris, some confirmed to have come from MH370, have been found in countries near Madagascar.
Mr Gibson, a lawyer from Seattle, has funded his own search for debris in east Africa.

I recently met Blaine Gibson in Malaysia.
This is a man who is now dedicating himself to travelling the globe, finding possible pieces of MH370.
He doesn’t get involved with the conspiracy theories, he just wants to find evidence.
It’s likely that there are hundreds, maybe even thousands, of MH370 plane parts littered on beaches in that part of the world. Pieces of the puzzle washed up more than two years after the aircraft disappeared.
Although these latest finds must be verified by the authorities, it seems to confirm that the aircraft ended up roughly where they are looking, in the Indian Ocean six days’ sail from Australia.
What the pieces are unlikely to tell us is how the aircraft got there.
Don Thompson, a British engineer who is part of an informal international group investigating MH370, said he thought one piece was from the back of a seat, and the other could be part of a cover panel on a plane wing.
“The seat part I am 99.9% sure on,” he told the BBC. “It’s the right colour of fabric for Malaysian Airlines. It shows the seat had to have disintegrated to have come away.”
