Thanks to all for the interest. Although witnesses are not sure of the exact date, some memoirs on the capture of crew/passengers from the landing craft point to the plane attacking and coming down on the 30th of May. AS the landing craft were only dispatched the night of the 26/27th and apparently made two stops on the way to the west. Approximately 56 nautical miles and in an old craft probably 10-12 hours and travel only at night. perhaps this may help. Thanks again to all. Michael
