Harry, I understand she was Saudi flag. There are some details on a site www.wrecksite.eu that says she 'took water after a rivet failure'.

As I remember it we were in sight of land but whether the animals had the navigational skills to try for it I don't know. Suspect they were all lost (perhaps the French scooped up one or two for Le Barbie-queue).

(I have been called luddite when it comes to slapping silicon based engineering to things that don't need it but not when it comes to immunisation. I eagerly await my next. Just because the likelihood of me making 84 is low it does not mean that I would willingly make it lower - my nephew is threatening a visit despite being discouraged, I have just about finished welding the stair rods in place in the hope this offers some immunity from nephew reporting death of uncle from a stair-carpet related fatality - from the advocate with will in hand).
