Doctors in India say 270 bodies have been recovered from the site of Thursday's plane crash in Ahmedabad. The London-bound aircraft crashed into a residential area shortly after take-off killing all but one of the 242 passengers and crew members, a 40-year-old British man.

Three days after the crash, only 35 bodies had been handed over to relatives from an overall official death toll of 270.

The Air India plane crash this week was one of India’s worst aviation disasters, killing 241 people on board and several people on the ground.
