I remember it well, very sad and always remember it every 28 November... wasn't it 257 by the way, 237 plus 20 crew??? Just watched the Doco on the recovery the other night, they recovered 214 bodies in total. Those Police did a magnificent job and took 30-40 years to be fully recognised. Most still suffer from the images of people who's bodies they recovered.
