Libya protests: 500 Britons trapped as plane breaks down | Mail Online
'Hundreds of terrified Britons were still trapped in Libya today as the plane meant to rescue them sat on the tarmac at Gatwick with a ‘technical fault’.
'Last night, the Royal Navy’s HMS Cumberland was due to arrive off Libya’s second city Benghazi – but will not seek to dock as it is not safe'
and the best bit................
'Anger mounted last night as it emerged that other countries including France, Russia and the Netherlands have already evacuated citizens – while Britain failed to get a plane off the ground.
Whitehall officials even accused foreign governments of bribing to Gaddafi’s inner circle for rescue flights. ‘That’s the kind of unethical and illegal activity we can’t get into,’ a government source said.
Ministers waited until they had got the green light from Libya’s aviation minister before trying to send in chartered airliners.'
oh yes, that's just not cricket
