LONDON (AFP) - The family of the pilot of the small plane that crashed over the English Channel while flying Argentine footballer Emiliano Sala to Britain has launched a fundraising campaign to find his remains.
British rescuers on Thursday (Feb 7) formally identified the one body pulled from the submerged wreckage as that of the 28-year-old striker.
But strong currents and winter weather forced them to call off the search before locating 59-year-old pilot David Ibbotson - the only other person on the Piper Malibu propeller aircraft.
"As a family we are relying on the kindness of the good hearted people to help us raise the much needed funds to help us find our beloved Dad, Husband and Son," the GoFundMe page said. "To be told the search has now been called off for the foreseeable future has only made this tragic time more difficult."
The campaign had raised around £25,000 (S$44,000) by Saturday (Feb 9) morning - a fraction of its stated goal of £300,000.
The plane carrying Sala from the French city of Nantes to his new English Premier League club Cardiff City disappeared near the British island of Guernsey on Jan 21.
The Welsh club hoped Sala would help them avoid relegation from the world's most lucrative league this season after signing him from Nantes for a club record fee of £15 million.

The city of 335,000 has been in mourning for more than two weeks. Fans transformed the grounds around the stadium on Friday into a sea of bouquets and yellow-and-blue team scarves and jerseys in tribute to their fallen star, who had yet to play a game for them.
Cardiff City owner Vincent Tan said on Friday that the club have offered to pay to take Sala "back to rest" in his hometown of Progreso in rural Argentina.
"We've offered to arrange to take Emiliano back to rest with his family in Argentina," Tan told talkSPORT radio.
"Even though he will be there, his soul will always be in our hearts."
Sala's family said on Friday that his body's recovery and identification would help bring closure to "the most painful time of our life".
"We can now begin to mourn our son and our brother," they said in a statement, although they too asked for the search for Ibbotson to continue, saying that they are "hoping that the authorities will do their best to find him".
You can learn a lot when a small delegation of highly-trusted testers inspects your brave new world for the very first time. Insights tumble from their unspoiled, eager minds like the luminous heaps of loot that litter the ground after a hearty battle.
