Have a newspaper cutting dated 11 July 1942.

Reads:

Six Spanish airmen were saved by a Sunderland out on patrol. Their aircraft was seen to crash in flames into the sea. The captain and crew of Sunderland alighted and picked up 3 officers and 3 sergeants who were struggling in the water with no buoyancy aids.

They were taken to 'The Rock' and given medical attention, a bath, clean clothes, food before being sent back to Spain.

Does anyone have any info on either crews, sqdn or incident, as I've not come across it before.

Kind Regards
