London flying boat shot down by Vichy fighter

Hi guys

A London flying boat K9682 of 202 Squadron Gibraltar was shot down by a Vichy fighter off Casablanca on 14 September 1940.

The crew survived and all but two were later rescued by another London from Gibraltar, including the skipper Flt Lt McCullum and Cpl Simpson, who suffered a fractured fibula), but two airmen (Graham and Marshall) were picked up by a French submarine (Vichy?).

Can anyone add details? If it was a Vichy sub I assume the two airmen were interned.

Cheers
Brian
