Most of Wednesday’s front pages lead on the mid-air turbulence that struck the Singapore Airlines flight on Tuesday. British grandfather Geoffrey Kitchen, 73, died during the flight, suspected to have had a heart attack during the turbulence. 

Away from the lead, there’s a mix of domestic topics on the front pages – with little unity across the papers. 

The back pages lead on Gareth Southgate’s provisional England squad – ahead of this summer’s Euros. A few of the front pages feature the news as well – with Marcus Rashford and Jordan Henderson dropped from the squad.

Tuesday’s front pages mostly cover the findings from the inquiry into the contaminated blood scandal – the biggest treatment disaster in NHS history. The inquiry, chaired by Sir Brian Langstaff, is the largest public inquiry ever carried out in the UK. More than 30,000 people were infected with HIV and hepatitis C from 1970 to 1991 by contaminated blood products and transfusions. Yesterday, in the Commons, the prime minister – and leaders of the opposition – apologised. The PM promised comprehensive compensation for the victims of the blood scandal.
