A doctor was among the four people who died in a plane crash at Southend Airport - as police say they are yet to recover the body of one victim.
Two Dutch pilots and a Chilean nurse, 31-year-old Maria Fernanda Rojas Ortiz, also known as Fena, died in the crash that caused a fireball at the airport on Sunday.
In an update on Tuesday, Essex Police said it had recovered three bodies and "we're continuing to work on recovering a fourth body within the next 24 hours".
"We're also now able to confirm the flight in question was a medical flight chartered to London Southend Airport for a patient to be transported onward for medical treatment in the UK," the force added.
"On board the flight when it tragically crashed were the commander and the co-pilot - who are both men - and a nurse, a woman, and a doctor, a man, all of whom died."
Police said they had not yet been able to officially confirm the identities of the victims.
A London Southend Airport spokesperson said today that the airport will "will continue to remain closed until further notice" following the tragedy.
It added: "The friends and families of those lost on Sunday are at the forefront of our minds. Our team continues to work closely with the Air Accidents Investigation Branch to support their work. We would like to thank our passengers and local community for their understanding during this time."
The medical transport aircraft had dropped off a patient and was beginning its journey back to the Netherlands when it crashed at about 3.48pm on Sunday.
John Johnson, who was at the airport with his wife and children, said he saw a "big fireball" exploding across the sky as the plane plunged "head first into the ground".
"We all waved at the pilots, and they all waved back at us," he said.
"The aircraft then turned 180 degrees to face its take-off, powered up [and] rolled down the runway.
"It took off and about three or four seconds [later] it started to bank heavily to its left, and then within a few seconds of that happening, it more or less inverted and crashed just head first into the ground."
Mr Johnson added: "There was a big fireball. Obviously, everybody was in shock [after] witnessing it."
