Crew save baby born at 30,000ft

A FAMILY yesterday praised the cabin crew who delivered a tiny premature baby and then battled to keep him alive at 30,000ft during a holiday flight.

Little Alfie was born when 25 weeks pregnant Nicola Delemere suddenly went into labour on a First Choice Airways flight from Manchester to Crete.

Flight supervisor Carol Miller supported Mrs Delemere, 31, as the little boy was born weighing just 1lb 1oz as the plane passed over Germany.
