Tributes were paid today to a ‘warm, smiling and kind’ NHS doctor, his wife and three young children, who were wiped out in the horrific Air India plane crash.
Dr Prateek Joshi, 43, had worked as a radiologist at a hospital in Derby for four years.
He was flying back to the UK with his wife Komi Vyas – a fellow doctor - their daughter Miraya, eight, and twin sons, Pradyut and Nakul, five, who planned to settle down in the East Midlands city.
The family posted a selfie of them innocently smiling after boarding the Boeing 787 plane before it took off from Ahmedabad yesterday.
Royal Derby Hospital described Dr Joshi as ‘not only an excellent doctor for whom nothing was too much trouble, but also a warm, smiling and kind man who was a hugely liked and valued member of the team’.
