Re: RAF antishipping aces

If you are interested in RAF Coastal Command U-Boat "aces", try google-searching a couple of names such as:
Squadron Leader Terence Bulloch, or
Wing Commander Michael Ensor.

Both seemed to have an extraordinary success with locating U-boats, with multiple attacks recorded. Bulloch had 4 wartime* successes and Ensor 3 (I think though likely to have remembered incorrectly).

*That subsequent post-war review indicated a number of "sinkings" in fact only resulted in heavy damage to the U-boat which managed to limp home, should not detract from the achievements of these gentlemen (and Coastal Command crews in general).
