The twin-engine aircraft, operated by domestic carrier Sita Air, was carrying trekkers to the Everest region when it came down just minutes after take-off near the Manohara River on the southwest edge of the capital Kathmandu this morning. All 19 people on board died.
The other Britons killed were named today by local travel company Sherpa Adventures as Raymond Eagle, 58, Christopher Davey, 51, brothers Vincent Kelly, 50, and Darren Kelly, 45, Timothy Oakes, 57, and Stephen Holding, 60, according to the Press Association.
The Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) said the families of the victims had all been informed.
As a number of badly burned bodies lay just metres from the aircraft's shattered fuselage, witnesses described how they heard passengers 'wailing and screaming' as flames engulfed the plane as it crashed at around 6.30am (00.45 GMT) after apparently hitting an eagle.
Housewife Tulasa Pokharel, 26, whose house is just metres from the crash site, recalled the moment the plane hit the ground. She said: 'That time I could hear some people inside the plane wailing and screaming.
'When we went to inform the police and other locals about the incident and came back, there was just silence. We saw the plane burning and all of them dead.'
She told reporters: 'We could hear people inside the aircraft screaming, but we couldn't throw water at the plane to put out the fire because we were scared that the engines were about to explode.'
All seven Britons had been due to begin a 16 day trek in the Himalayas, starting at Everest Base Camp, with Hampshire travel firm Explore Worldwide today.
Mr Ogden, who studied Law and German at Oxford, was a keen dog walker and lived with his girlfriend Stephanie. He was originally from Buckingham, near Milton Keynes.
The firm said in a statement: 'Everyone at Allen & Overy is deeply shocked and saddened by the news that Ben Ogden was one of 19 people who were tragically killed in a plane crash in Nepal this morning.
