Oh, and St Eve. I loved the rear gunner gag.
Giles, thanks for the acknowledgement, but it wasn't a gag. 40 operations over Europe in 1944 and 20 in Singapore in 1953, each time turning left when the rest of the crew turned right. A lonely position, or what? But back to cruises - my favourite was on a troop ship from Cyprus to Southampton. 10 days of great food and lively companionship.
