Re: Ark Royal Swordfish collision October 1939

Hi guys

Beaten to the punch! Yes, I confirm Alex's findings.

While on the subject of 'Ark Royal' and this particular patrol in the South Atlantic, I have notes that suggest the 'Ark's' Swordfish or escorts accounted for five German blockade runners off the Spanish coast in February 1940 when returning to England. Can anyone confirm this and provides names of the ships concerned, please? And also dates?

Cheers
Brian
