Britons in China air crash named
The two Britons who were among 160 crew and passengers killed in China's worst air disaster on Monday were named as Peter Bailey, 26, and Ian Williams, in his late twenties, both of Bulwell, Nottingham.

The flight recorder of China Northwest's Russian-built Tupolev-154, which crashed shortly after take-off from Xian, was being examined.
