I'm just going on what Sam Williams, who was galley boy onboard Isolda at the time told me. According toSam EIRE was painted on the side.

Regards,

Mark, I always find that it is a delicate matter to query the details when recalled by a veteran, but the fact is the ship was identified in the German report...single report n.r. 2 of 19.12.40 as Lighthouses (sic) Service attacked with 6 SC 250 bombs.
The Condor was flying at 50 ft most of the time. The Coast watchers along the coast were looking down at it from some LOPs as it passed from north to south. The Isolda flew the Irish Flag on leaving harbour but took it down once it passed outside the three mile territorial limit.
