NOT ME, but some other guy on Airliners.net posted this:
I work for an aftermarket parts supplier who tears down all aircraft including B777's. I happen to work on the B777 product line.
Here are some pictures of a B777-200ER left hand Flaperon. This unit has been repaired. It is from a similar production line number as MH370.
PN 113W6100-9. I also have the right hand side flaperon, the -10
NOTE: The part number/ serial numbers ARE NOT ETCHED/STAMPED on the control surfaces. There is a DATA PLATE which is sometimes riveted, but often times, pressed on. This occurs after the unit has gone to a shop that updates the part number after adding an Service Bulletin and the shop simply "glues" the new data plate on.
It is very common for these data plates to fall
I cannot tell for certain if the part found is a B777, B747-200, or any other aircraft. Searching for a picture of a B747-200 flaperon.
