FAA aircraft in the 16 Coastal Command Group.
Colleagues, I found the following entry in the Admiralty War Diaries for March 14, 1941:
14.3 F.A.A. torpedo aircraft of the Coastal Command last night carried out offensive patrols from Lister to Horns Reef, in the Heligoland Bight,and from Zeebrugge to the Texel. A 3000 ton merchant ship was torpedoed and sunk at 2315 15 mileg north of Borkum. https://sccd.royalnavy.mod.uk/-/medi...746101b1eeacc3 German documents indicate that at 11:45 PM, the Finnish ship Virma (3,232 GRT), which was part of a convoy, was attacked from the air and sunk. Mystery. Which FAA squadrons were under the control of 16 Group at that time, and which aircraft sank this ship? Unfortunately, there is no information on this in the Kew Archives. I would be grateful for any assistance.
