Re: FW200 Condor claim by SS Inishtrahull
The take off time is 4:23 from Bordeaux, landed 15:33 at Brest. Took off again 16:47 and landed at Bordeaux 18:38.
The mission was weather- and armed reconnaissance, Bordeaux - 25 West 1255 (about 100-150km west of Mizen Head) - 25West 6825 (about 5730N 15W) - 25 West 1255 - Bordeaux.
Tony, I think the reason that the F8+CL was just sighted from the Irish Coast this one place is that F8+CL was to fly with in sight of SW corner of Ireland to get a navigation fix for the flight home. But they were off course and were flying toward the coast to identify the coastline when they saw SS Inishrahull. And after the attack F8+CL flew out to see again since the mission was not coastal reconnaissance.
