A few years back, an ATR42 tunisian (I think) crashed in the sea a few
hunded metres north of Sicily, becouse some clever
mechanic had changed erroneusly the fuel qty gauge of the 42 with a larger
one of a 72, so the pilot was sure to have fuel to reach Tunis,
but he run dry half way killing if I'm not wrong 40 people. Both pilot
survived.

Gosh, I didn't even know that there was an ATR42. Thanks for the
correction. Still my picture IS the ATR 72.

Thanks Guyo, next time I shall be more careful before rushing into print.

Hangs head in shame...
