Re: Fw 200 operations on 29.12.43
The Scutts loss list in his book came from me and this crew are still missing.
I am sure I have been asked this question before. 4 FW 200s took off between 0507 & 0523 hrs for a recce 55 degrees 30 mins to 47.30 N, 9 degrees to 13.30 west 0824 hrs in PlQ 24W/3615 ship spotted 0912 hrs in 24W/3623 an Irish freighter was spotted 800-1000 BRT course 65 degrees. 0915 hrs red & white flares seen 0922 hrs 30 dinghies seen 0924 hrs in 24W/2787 a dinghy with 6-7 men spotted which was Hptm Dette's crew lost 28 Dec 43. They signalled them that they would be getting a ship to get them 0930 hrs in 24W/1721 an Irish freighter of 3000 BRT spotted ...and this goes on until 1205 hrs when they got the Irish freighter to rescue them (mentions use of flares). Contact me if your friends want a copy of the transcript but the only crew names I have are for the FW 200 lost
