Pic from Kennedy News & Media (Pictured: FROM LEFT TO RIGHT, BARBARA WILKINSON, 68, TAMARA WILKINSON, 13, AND DESTINY JORDAN, 20.) A gran suffered a brain aneurysm while jetting off on a family holiday that her family fears was caused by the plane's cabin pressure - leaving her stranded in a coma thousands of miles from home. Barbara Wilkinson, from Aspley in Nottingham, had boarded the flight from East Midlands Airport to Corfu with her 13-year-old granddaughter Tamara Wilkinson and a close friend on October 14th. But after setting off on the three-hour plane journey, the 68-year-old reportedly began coughing and then fell asleep into a 'comatose' state.
