Sunderland saves Spanish Airmen Jul 1942
Have a newspaper cutting dated 11 July 1942.
Reads: Six Spanish airmen were saved by a Sunderland out on patrol. Their aircraft was seen to crash in flames into the sea. The captain and crew of Sunderland alighted and picked up 3 officers and 3 sergeants who were struggling in the water with no buoyancy aids. They were taken to 'The Rock' and given medical attention, a bath, clean clothes, food before being sent back to Spain. Does anyone have any info on either crews, sqdn or incident, as I've not come across it before. Kind Regards Andy Bird
