The wreck of the plane carrying Emiliano Sala and pilot David Ibbotson was found in the Channel Sunday
The Air Accident Investigation Branch (AAIB) confirmed that it was trying to recover the body found in the debris of the plane carrying Cardiff attacker Emiliano Sala, and his pilot, David Ibbotson.
The Piper Malibu plane was found deep in the Channel Sunday morning and the AAIB confirmed that an aircraft occupant was visible in the submarine wreckage.
However, the AAIB says that high tides hinder the operation of removing the body.
A statement said: "We are trying to recover the body.If we succeed, we will study the possibility of recovering the wreckage of the aircraft.
"Strong tides mean that we can only use the Remote Control Vehicle (ROV) for limited periods each day, which means that progress is slow.
0:27 Sala's father urged investigators to recover the body as soon as possible
"Whatever the results, we will not make any further statements until the families have been informed."
Sala's father urged the investigators to recover the body as quickly as possible.
"We hope that they can get it back as soon as possible to find out what happened," he said. "At least to get an idea of what happened."
More than £ 300,000 was raised via a GoFundMe page to launch privately funded research for the Sala aircraft.
Kylian Mbappe, Adrien Rabiot and Dimitri Payet were among the donors and Horacia Sala thanked the audience for his generosity on Tuesday.
"Thanks to all the players who helped with the money because the cost of the research was very expensive," Horacia Sala added.
"I would like to thank everyone who supported, everyone."
