"Crash-girl's mother did not love her"
Anthea Lycett, the 3-year-old "give-away baby" who survived the Benghazi air crash being carried by Mr. Lycett from the anbulance into a London hospital.
Anthea was burned and had her elbow fractured in the crash that killed her foster-mother Mrs. Michael Lycett, and 35 others. An ambulance took her from London Airport to the Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children.
Last year Anthea was adopted by wealthy Mr. and Mrs. Michael Lycett after her mother, Lady Diana Miller, had given her away because she "could not love her".
Mrs. Lycett was flying to London from Rhodesia for a reunion with her mother—a member of the Horlicks family—when the crash came.
Mr. Michael Lycett flew to London with Anthea and went in the ambulance with her to the hospital.—(Keystone).
