Attempts are ongoing to recover an unidentified body in plane wreckage that led to the disappearance of Cardiff City’s striker, Emiliano Sala and pilot David Ibbotson, .
Emiliano Sala and David Ibbotson went missing on the 21st of January.
The yet to be identified body is said to have been found after discovering the plane at the bottom of the English Channel.
The Air Accidents Investigation Branch (AAIB) will make efforts to move the body to the surface, before trying to bring up the plane.
The AAIB spokesman, John Hotson said:
“We are attempting to recover the body. If we are successful, we will consider the feasibility of recovering the aircraft wreckage.
“Strong tidal conditions mean we can only use the remotely operated vehicle (ROV) for limited periods each day and this will mean that progress is slow.”
