Airlifted from cruise liner
An 84-year-old Englishman was admitted to Mater Dei Hospital for emergency treatment early yesterday morning after being airlifted by a helicopter from the passenger cruise liner Buddica. The man was reported to be losing a lot of blood.
The cruise ship was in a position some 40 nautical miles east of Malta when the elderly man was winched off at about 3.15 a.m. by a locally-based Italian Air Force AB212 helicopter.
AFM medical officer Surgeon Lietenant Colonel Robert Galea was on board the helicopter to assist the patient.

The name of the cruise liner is "Boudicca" not "Buddica" - a quick search in Google will confirm this. There is no cruise liner in existence with the name "Buddica".
