HMS Reaper sailing log
Dear All,
I'm trying to properly date, as best I can, Watson's Whizzers photos of the captured German aircraft transported aboard HMS Reaper from Cherbourg to New Jersey. The best document I have on the Reaper says its arrival at Cherbourg was expected about July 16, 1945, although a communique 2 days earlier thought its arrival would be about July 11th. From what I have been able to piece together, the Reaper departed Cherbourg on July 20th. Given the tighter timeframe, this would have meant loading was performed between July 16 and July 19. It would be really helpful to better pin this down if someone has actually seen the ship's log, which I assume is in an archive in England. Can anyone help on this? Regards, Richard
