Does anyone on here know what if any action has been taken against the ship's master? -------------------- Smile at us, pay us, pass us; but do not quite forget, For we are the people of England, that never has spoken yet.

I think it came for the correct technical term an "Air Miss" which referred to a near collision between two aircraft. -------------------- Ocean Froggie Post Extras:       Pages: 1
