Re: Dakar 1940

The Antarés was a French floatplane (or seaplane, I have never understood the real meaning of these two english words) and was anchored, or at least on the water, when the Sworfishes flew over it. A gunner of the Antarés fired at them and claimed a victory.

If I remember well, the Walrus lost on the 25 was from the cruiser HMAS Australia.
