* AMSA is awaiting images from the Royal New Zealand Air Force Orion
* Sightings would need to be confirmed by ship - not until Saturday
* Search for the missing jetliner was shifted 1,100 km (685 miles) north today
* New search area closer to land and has calmer weather than previous one

The search area moved 680 miles to the north east earlier today - it was shifted after new radar data analysis suggested the jet flew faster than originally thought and would have used up more fuel, which might have reduced the distance it travelled.

This afternoon the Australian Maritime Safety Authority said the find needs to be confirmed by a Chinese ship which is expected to arrive in the area tomorrow.
