Empress of Australia

I've decided that at last I'm going round the twist. I've obviously led Derek on a wild goose chase about an aircraft crash in the Med in 1950 when no trace of the incident is recorded anywhere. Then the first inkling I get about other things witnessed on the trip was a message posted by Don Mallinder outlining them. I was about to reply to Don but I can't find his message, either on this BB or the other one. Am I imagining that as well? Please somebody HELP!.

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?.

The Gurkha's

The plight of the Gurkhas is not yet over, Please sign this petition.
 
Please read the following from Joanna Lumley:
 
"The Gurkhas have won a famous victory in their landmark case this week.  However, the judge was only able to declare the current policy that excludes pre 1997 Gurkhas from the right to live in the UK as 'unlawful.  Only the British Government can put in place the new policy that the British people want - the right of all Gurkhas to settle in the UK irrespective of the date of retirement.  There is a real danger that the Government will fudge this opportunity and bring in new rules that still discriminate against pre 1997 retirees.  For that reason, I am asking if you would publicise my new website www.gurkhajustice.org.uk.
 
I am asking the British public to sign up to it in their millions so that I might go, within days, to the Prime Minister with the largest ever petition on this issue to show him the strength of feeling from all sections of society."
