Photo: ReutersA body has been recovered from the wreckage of the plane carrying Argentina-born footballer Emiliano Sala and pilot David Ibbotson, the Air Accidents Investigation Branch (AAIB) in Britain has confirmed. The agency did not disclose the identity of the body late on Wednesday. A body was visible inside when the wreckage was on the seabed near Guernsey, air accident investigators had said on Monday. The body was "successfully recovered" but attempts to recover the aircraft wreckage were unsuccessful, the AAIB said in a statement on Wednesday. Sala had agreed to join Welsh club Cardiff for a club-record fee of £15 million ($NZ28 million) from French Ligue 1 club Nantes.
