A retired pilot, Chris Goodfellow, postulates the plane had an onboard fire and the pilots scrambled to land at the nearest airpot explaining the course change (yellow). They were unable to survive the fire which extinguished itself and all were dead before they could safely land. The plane continued to fly on automatic pilot at the corrected heading (green). Extrapolating on that theory if the plane flew on until it exhausted its fuel supply and crashed in the ocean, the search should be closer to Africa than Austraila.
