<p>The missing aircraft was located off the coast of Guernsey on Sunday evening after disappearing on January 21 as it travelled from Nantes in France to Cardiff.</p>
<p>The plane is approximately 67m underwater.</p>
<p>The Air Accidents Investigation Branch (AAIB) confirmed on Monday that a body had been detected in the plane by remotely operated vehicles (ROVs) scanning the site.</p>

<p>A spokesman for the AAIB said: <em>“We are attempting to recover the body. If we are successful, we will consider the feasibility of recovering the aircraft wreckage.</em></p>
<p><em>“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.</em></p>
<p><em>“Regardless of the results, we will not be making a further statement until the families have been informed.”</em></p>
<p>The plane had requested to descend before it lost contact with Jersey air traffic control.</p>
<p>An official search operation was called off on January 24 after Guernsey’s harbor master Captain David Barker said the chances of survival following such a long period were “extremely remote”.</p>
<p>The remains of the aircraft were tracked down by a team co-ordinated by ocean scientist David Mearns, who has located some of the most elusive wrecks in the world.</p>
<p>Mr Mearns – who is known as the “Shipwreck Hunter” – and his team found the plane within two hours of commencing their search.</p>
<p>He told the Press Association the discovery had been so quick because the team had been looking for a static crash site rather than working in a dynamic environment searching for survivors.</p>
<p><em>“No one should walk away with the impression that the coast guard and also the Channel Islands air search did anything other than a professional job,”</em> he said.</p>
