Rescuers recovered the second 'black box' and retrieved bodies yesterday from an Aeroflot Airbus that went down the day before in a remote area of prison work camps in Siberia, killing all 75 people on board, AP reports from Moscow. The Interfax news agency said early indications suggested there was an explosion and fire while the plane was in the air.

Three Britons who were passengers were identified as Dominic Scott-Knight of Winchmore Hill, north London; Mark Newport and Adrian Deaville.
