However, British air accident investigators have yet to say whether the body was that of Sala, who had just signed with Premier League club Cardiff, or pilot David Ibbotson.
The Air Accidents Investigation Branch (AAIB) confirmed to Euronews on Thursday the operation took place under "challenging conditions," and that the body was now being transported to a coroner in Dorset.
