Three losses, 12 August 1942
Can anyone help me with the identity of three aircraft lost over the Bay of Biscay August 1942.
The first is a Coastal Command (presumably) Wellington that was forced to ditch c.0400 after engine failure during an anti-submarine patrol. The crew managed to get abaord their dinghy and were spotted some time later by a Whitely which was apparently engaged and shot down. A while later a Sunderland rolled over and sank in rough seas whilst attempting to rescue the crew of the Wellington. According to Tony Wood's Luftwaffe claims, the only claim by the Luftwaffe was at 0648 for a 'Lysander' with no location given so I'm loathe to attribute the Whitely loss there. Can anyone tell me, the unit these aircraft belonged to, the crews involved, the rough area (distance from land), aircraft details and if possible, a time frame for the Whitely and Sunderland loss. TIA Adam
