Yet another FAA query - HMS Glorious 8/6/40

Hi guys

According to official reports and John Winton's excellent 'Carrier Glorious', when the carrier was sunk on 8 June 1940, no Swordfish were flying. Yet, it has since been implied that two were in the air at the time of the attack, one of which flew to Hatston and another that ditched en route.

Has anyone got additional information, please?

Cheers
Brian
