Re: Air attack on Convoy 'Faith', july 1943

Chris Goss has been in touch. He confirms that three FW 200 Condors from III/KG 40, based at Merignac, carried out the attack.

Each plane carried 4 x SC 250kg bombs which were dropped from high altitude without the aid of any guidance system. Just very accurate bombing.

So thanks for that, Chris
