Note

Placed from the description only. The last military radar plot, at 02:22, was about 10 nmi past waypoint MEKAR over the Andaman Sea, roughly 200 nmi north-west of Penang Island; MEKAR's coordinates were not checked, so the point stands for that stretch of sea and may be off by 100 km or more.
