Re: Sinking of HMS Audacity.
Thank you Bruce,
Clears up my question. I missread the details under U-131
So -
U-131 was the submarine that was the 1st to shoot down an aircraft. This was the Martlet of 802 Sqdn from HMS Audacity.
U-741 Was not launched until 4th February 1943.
U-751 Attacked and sank HMS Audacity (D-10) , Convoy HG-76 on a homeward journey from Gibraltar on 21st December 1941.
I expect that the reference to U-741 in the "Squadrons of the Fleet Air Arm" may have been a printers error.
Thanks
Alex
