troopships

Don,
      I saw you reply saying that you were on the 'Empress of Australia' but I can't bring it up again. Anyway, do you remember the incident in the Med when we had to stop to pick up survivers from an aircraft crash? At least that's what's in my mind . There were other ships there including a warship. I've looked through the web for an account of a crash at that time but without success.
Is it all in my mind or did it really happen?.
