Sunderland lost in Arctic circa July 1942??
Hi guys
Reading Bernard Edwards' "The Road to Russia" he writes (circa 3 July 1942 Convoy PQ17) "At 17.00, the monotony was relieved when a Sunderland flying boat was sighted on the water. As the big, four-engine plane drifted through the ranks of the convoy in eerie silence it was seen to be entirely encased in ice. There was no point is stopping to look for survivors, but speculation on the story behind the downed British aircraft ......" Edwards does not quote his source (he personally was not with the convoy). I didn't think Sunderlands operated that far north, but may be wrong. Possibly it may have been a Catalina, but again I have no record of such a loss. I haven't seen this mentioned in any other account. Any ideas, please? Cheers Brian
