Family's joy and dread as dad is plane crash survivor but sibling is missing
Two of the 53 British nationals on board the doomed Air India flight to Gatwick were brothers Ajaykumar Ramesh, 35, and Viswash, 40 - sadly only one is believed to have made it out alive The British brother of the man believed to be the only known survivor of the tragic Air India plane crash who was sat just a few rows back from his sibling has been pictured for the first time. On Thursday brothers Ajaykumar Ramesh, 35, and Viswashkumar, 40, boarded the doomed flight after having been in India on a business trip. The Boeing jet crashed shortly after takeoff from Ahmedabad Airport in Gujarat at around 1.40pm (0810 GMT), officials said. While Viswashkumar - seated in 11A by the exit - survived, his sibling who was sat in seat 11J is feared dead. Devastatingly, injured Viswash has been begging from his hospital bed: "Find Ajay, you must find Ajay." Last night, relatives of the brothers gathered at the family's home in Leicester to comfort the brothers' mother who is said to be too grief-stricken to speak. Younger brother Nayankumar Ramesh, 27, told MailOnline"It's a miracle at least one of them survived." Hours after the crash, Nayankumar said the family were desperate for news about what happened to Ajay, as his phone was still ringing out when they called it. He said: "We're hoping he's survived and been taken to hospital as well." Asked how the family are wrestling with the tragedy of one brother surviving and the loss of the other, he gestured to his sobbing mother, Manibai Ramesh, behind him. "That's your answer", the brother said. "We're just baffled, baffled." Detailing their final days Nayankumar said his older siblings were in India on a business trip concerning their family business. Viswashkumar was formerly the sole director of textile company RMV Fashion, which closed down in 2022. Astonishing footage showed Viswashkumar with visible injuries hobbling away from the scene of the crash. He reportedly sustained injuries to his chest, eyes and feet. Police said Viswashkumar had 'managed to escape by jumping out the emergency door'. Brother Nayan said his brother was in disbelief at how he got out alive, saying on the phone: "I have no idea how I survived or exited the plane. When he was on the runway, my dad called him. And Viswash said, "oh, we're going to take off soon," he said. 'And then literally like two minutes later, he video called my dad as he crashed. He said, "our plane's crashed, I don't know where my brother is. I don't see any other passengers. I don't know how I'm alive, how I exited the plane. All he was worried about on the phone was telling us "find Ajay, you must find Ajay"," Nayankumar added. Speaking to local media from his hospital bed, Viswashkumar said his brother had been sitting on a nearby row, adding: "I can't find him anymore. Thirty seconds after take-off, there was a loud noise and then the plane crashed. It all happened so quickly,' he added. "When I got up, there were bodies all around me. I was scared. I stood up and ran. There were pieces of the plane all around me. Someone grabbed hold of me and put me in an ambulance and brought me to the hospital."

Antiques Roadshow guest gushes 'I can't believe that' as value of inherited item unveiled
Our community members are treated to special offers, promotions and adverts from us and our partners. You can check out at any time. More info A guest on Antiques Roadshow was utterly astounded by the hefty valuation given to his Rolex watch by expert Richard Price. During a rerun of the much-loved BBC show, which aired on Sunday 8th June, Brodie Castle served as the backdrop for a host of valuable discoveries. The episode showcased a man who presented Richard with a 1960s Rolex GMT-Master that once belonged to his uncle. Richard, examining the timepiece closely, told the owner: "All Rolex collectors refer to these things by their reference number," and "You know as well as I do because it says so on the dial that it's a GMT-Master." The owner shared that he had held onto the watch for about 32 years after inheriting it from his uncle, reports the Express. (Image: BBC) He guessed that the watch might have been a present to his uncle in the 1960s, leading Richard to investigate its provenance further. Richard clarified: "It's the reference 1675, which is the classic GMT-Master when you said 60s, I think we could fairly safely say 1960 to 1961, so that all fits in." Upon closer examination, Richard was delighted to discover the watch was unmodified, pointing out that many watches are often altered during servicing, which can disappoint collectors. He detailed: "They would've changed the bezel and they would've changed the dial with an upgrade," and then remarked: "You would've had it back thinking, 'Oh, it looks like new'. Collectors hate that, it's absolutely original, spot-on." The expert was then left a tad disappointed after inspecting the watch further, noting that it sported a jubilee bracelet rather than the original oyster type. He informed the downcast owner: "It's a Rolex product of course, but it says 'Made in the USA'. So perhaps he specified that he did not want the oyster bracelet, he wanted a jubilee bracelet and they put this one on for him. "Which sort of detracts from it a little bit, probably detracts from it by a couple of thousand pounds." (Image: BBC) The guest's spirits dipped further when Richard valued the watch at what would have been £300 to £350 in the early 60s. Reacting to the valuation, the guest said ruefully: "Wish he bought more." However, Richard had some uplifting news, announcing that the Rolex is likely worth £12,000 to £15,000. The guest was left utterly gobsmacked as applause erupted around him. Visibly moved, he uttered: "I can't believe that, can't believe that." Antiques Roadshow is streaming now on BBC iPlayer.
