Whitley's attacked over the Bay 8/42
Have been sent a newspaper clipping dated 12 August 1942 from the Christchurch Times (New Zealand).
Has anyone come across this story before ? If so which unit did the Whitley's belong to ? aircrew etc., "Air battles are occurring in greater numbers over the Bay of Biscay, where Coastal Command planes are unceasingly hunting U-boats. The Germans are counter-patrolling. Two Arados attacked a Whitley and forced it down. Five minutes later, another Whitley avenged that loss by sending one of the Arados down, while a third Whitley chopped off the starboard wing of an Arado which, fell away into the sea." Kind Regards, Andy Bird
