Richard Osman, a geologist who worked for St Helier-based mining company Centamin, was on the EgyptAir plane which came down, killing all 66 passengers and crew.
Following the crash on 19 May, searches have been undertaken to find the debris and flight recorders.
Yesterday, Egypt’s investigation committee said that the cockpit voice recorder had been damaged but the memory unit – the ‘most important’ part – had been safely recovered by the vessel searching for the wreckage.
