A MAN WHO was abandoned at Gatwick Airport as a baby is making a fresh appeal – 30 years after he was discovered.
Steve Hydes was found in the ladies toilets in the busy airport on 10 April 1986.
The newborn, dressed in two babygrows and wrapped in a blanket, was nicknamed ‘Gary Gatwick’ at the time.
Now the father-of-two is making a fresh appeal in hope that his biological parents will come forward.
In a recent Facebook post, he said, “Yesterday I turned 30 – if yesterday was my birthday or not I’m not sure – but I had a great day.
I guess whichever day I was born around this time – my biological mum must find it difficult. I hope wherever you are, you’re okay.
He told Sky News, ”I’d love to find out what went on and who my biological family is. I could have brothers and sisters that I don’t know about now.
It’s the not knowing that spurs me on, to find out would be fantastic.

Steve was adopted and describes his childhood as “fantastic”.
I’d just like to know what happened, it will explain more about myself, complete me in a way.
“I have spent the last 10 years doing appeals where I have appeared in newspapers, TV and a few years ago I did a documentary.”

@Bala mc blaha: Sadly they’ve been getting it since 1916, The Brits and French forgot to give them their own country when they divided the Ottoman empire between them.
Brave Women of Iran and elsewhere often ignored by the western media because they are not part of groups like BLM or part of the Woke agenda This is placing your life on the line for freedom not gluing yourself to a Road or Railing so you can receive Media coverage for you cause.
Where Is whataboutery Wallace and Daly?
@Stephen Gill: I know where they are. They’re living in your head rent free.
@Tom Jacob: Oh! A comment from a wonderful faceless empty head. Out from under the bridge.
@Stephen Gill: Did you give Wallace heat allowance while he’s living in your head?
@Tom Jacob: Since you don’t mention Clare you must be Micks latest childish doe eyed groupie, getting all upset about me mentioning his whataboutery nonsense. You have aptly demonstrated that you are really the only one obsessed by him. The next time you make an intelligent observation it will be your first. Now jog on.
Evil evil regime that Islamic Republic!
