RECOVERY teams have made patchy progress in the search for bodies from the wreckage of AirAsia Flight 8501, finding the remains of just two more victims on the tenth day of operations.
Recovery workers are also yet to find the "black box" flight data recorders, crucial to determining the cause of the crash, although they have located five major parts of the plane on the seabed including a "suspected tail" -- where flight recorders are usually housed.

Divers were sent down to the sea floor during a break in the weather but they were struggling to investigate the wreckage, according to search official S.B. Supriyadi.
"Some of them tried to dive but the bad weather hampered the diving operation," Mr Supriyadi told AFP from Pangkalan Bun, a town on Borneo island with the nearest airstrip to the wreckage.
"Divers haven't managed to get close to the large parts of the plane so far," he said.
As search and rescue investigators race against time to recover victims' bodies, they have managed to recover a number of items among those who perished.
