Parts of the plane were loaded onto the back of two lorries, which are believed to be heading to Farnborough so that the Air Accident Investigation Branch can examine the aircraft.

The A27 is expected to remain closed until Saturday while the rest of the debris is removed and the crash site thoroughly searched.
