Re: Luftwaffe Activity over the Bay of Biscay
For 16 December the Bletchley Park Air Operations Watch team noted: a routine security patrol by a Ju 88 of 3.(F)/123 from 1550 GMT and a "special night operation" by an aircraft the same unit to the area NNW of the Scilly Isles. There was also an evening search operation by 3 Ju 88 thought to be looking for an aircraft of Westa 2 that had reported being in difficulties. (Piere Babin's "La Wekusta 2 au Combat" says this was Ju 88 D-1 W.Nr. 430005, D7+KK. It suffered engine failure and crashed into the sea with the loss of all four on board).
On the 17th: "No operations were carried out on account of adverse weather conditions".
