The 13-year-old son of the pilot of the two-seater Team Rocket F-4 Raider plane that crashed into the sea in the Puerto Soller area on Saturday was flying with his father. At around 1pm on Sunday, their bodies were recovered and taken to Puerto Soller.
The plane crashed around 8.20pm near Cap Gros between Soller and Deia. The search by emergency teams continued until darkness. It resumed at first light on Sunday.
The pilot is said to have been American and a specialist in military and aerobatics flights. The plane was based at the aerodrome in Binissalem.
The Guardia Civil have spoken to a number of witnesses. One of them, a local resident who was at sea with his family, told officers he saw the plane flying very low. It passed around 15 to 20 metres above them before crashing into the water and then sinking.
Remains of the plane were located at a depth of some 30 metres. Parts of it had come to the surface by Sunday morning along with documentation and some personal belongings. A boat with a powerful spotlight aimed at the water was used for guiding divers in the recovery of the bodies.
