Authorities haven’t said if the body located by an underwater camera was Sala or pilot David Ibbotson, the only people on board.

Britain’s Air Accidents Investigation Branch says “we are attempting to (recover) the body. If we are successful, we will consider the feasibility of recovering the aircraft wreckage.”

The wreckage was discovered on Sunday.

In a statement, the AAIB cautioned that “strong tidal conditions mean we can only use the remotely operated vehicle for limited periods each day and this will mean that progress is slow.”
