RN sub attacked by RAF 15 April 1940

Hi guys

On 15 April 1940, RN submarine HMS Trident was apparently attacked in error by a Coastal Command aircraft as it approached Rosyth. It was not damaged.

A German report, referring to an intercepted wireless message, mentioned the British aircraft involved as 'A 208'. I don't think this would have been Sunderland A of 208 Squadron. Any ideas? Possibly A of 228 Squadron, or A of 206 Squadron?

Any help appreciated

Cheers
Brian
