Alex, I do not think that is the right plane. On this link on 11 September there is a description of what happened to the Wendell D Decker crew on the night of 9/10 September.

It appears they went down off the coast of Sicily. At the time they were based at Catania, Sicily and they went down in the water close to the base.
