Re: Special Mission 27 Sep 42

One other thought on this at around 1630 hrs on the 27th the U-165 was sunk to the S/W of Lorient by a Wellington of 311 Sqd , which crash landed on return at 1958 hrs. with combat damage and wounded crewmen . Is it a possibilty that the two Ju 88s were operating over the Channel to the south of Coastal Command bases in the S/W of the UK in support of the U-Boot , which when attacked was on the surface . Weather was reported as 4/10 to 6/10 cloud cover and poor visibilty
