Re: Bomber over the Atlantic Sep 1940
Hi Chris

Thank you for all your help.

I have managed to get a copy of the movement card for the Empire Scout from the National Archive (Documents on line BT 389/11 image 697/700). This shows that the ship docked at Bristol on 1 Sep 1940 and did not leave the port until 14 Sep, when it moved across to Cardiff. Thus it could not have been out in the Atlantic on 8 Sep and bombed by the Condor. This just confirms your opinion that the ship bombed was indeed the Empire Bison.

Is the information about the flight in an archive that I can access?

All the best

Gobbo
