Free French No. 344 Wellington crew August 18, 1943
Dear all,

in morning hours of August 18, 1943 off Dakar, a Wellington crew of No. 344 (Free French) Squadron RAF attacked and sunk German submarine U-403.
Aircraft serial should be HZ697. They dropped six depth charges.
Are there known any details of the French crew?

Same U-Boot was attacked on August 17 by Hudson of No 200 Sq (F/O P R Horbat)

On July 30, same U-Boot was attacked by airplanes of USS Santee.

Thanks in advance for advice!
Merci!
