One of two flight recorders from an Air France plane that crashed off the coast of Brazil in 2009 has been recovered, officials say.

France's Bureau of Investigation said in a statement that the device was "in good physical condition".

The Air France Airbus plane went down in the Atlantic on 1 June 2009, killing all 228 people on board.
