Re: Catalina shot down June 1942 by Convoy UR29

Hi,

Could it have been this one ?

Consolidated PBY-5A Catalina
2458 (VP-73) beached in Iceland 6/20/1942 after being shot
at by friendly convoy.

This info was updated to-

Hit by enemy fire, landed on beach and later salvaged by USN: DBR 4/seriously inj, 1/minor inj, 3/No injuries.

I beleive the a/c might have carried the side code 73-P-8.
