Specialist teams have begun a rescue mission in an attempt to recover the body visible inside the wreckage of the plane carrying Emiliano Sala and a pilot.
The plane was located at the bottom of the English Channel on Sunday, with at least one body partially visible inside.
According to the rescue team, there are strong tidal conditions so progress will be slow.
The plane, a Piper Malibu model, vanished while en route between Nantes to Wales.
