Thanks Andreas for your info. I have Botchers and Bongers handwritten personal accounts of the Lundy incident, which mentions these guys thought they had reached the Scillies, but I didn't know they'd managed to radio a message back detailing their estimated position. All good stuff filling in gaps in the story.

So, from the convoy attack - they must have figured they were headed South East whereas actually they clearly headed due East. An error in navigation is forgivable I suppose, particularly when your a/c's engines are about to pack up..
