Hi guys

Thanks for the contributions. Just as I thought. However, the diary (not memoir) implies that the convoy was attacked - but by what?

My research would suggest that seamen often reported attacking aircraft as "stukas" whether they were or not Ju87s. So, perhaps the attackers were Ju88s. Is there any mention of Ju88 activity - bombers or reconnaissance aircraft?

For the diary entry to be acceptable, the writer's ship, believed to have been the British Dan-Y-Bryn, was attacked and a crew member seriously wounded.

Over to you!
Cheers
Brian
