Re: Ed West's invaluable service -Lancastria air photo found
Apologies for reviving this thread 12 years after the last post, but adding to what was written then the Lancastria slipped beneath the waves at approximately 1630 hours - 20 minutes after it was hit (Report, dated 1 July 1940, by W/C Macfadyen, a survivor,: copy in AIR35/190). Thus the time the German photo was taken, 1852 hours (even allowing for different time datums), was after the ship sank.
