Bodies of missing French fishermen recovered from Channel

The five-man crew raised a distress call at about 18:00 BST on 29 August.

A nearby fishing vessel, the Stradale, rescued three crew members before the Maranello sank.

The search for the missing fishermen involved UK and French rescue teams in waters south-west of the Eddystone Lighthouse, off Plymouth.

Poor weather delayed dives to the vessel after it was found.
