Description |
English: Royal Air Force Coastal Command, 1939-1945. The crew of Consolidated Catalina Mark IV 'X' of No. 210 Squadron RAF, who made the last attack of the war on a German submarine, stand by their aircraft at Sullom Voe, Shetland. In the early hours of 7 May 1945 they depth-charged the type VIIC/41 submarine, U-320, west of Bergen, Norway. The U-boat was badly damaged and, despite an attempt at repairs by the crew, sank off the Norwegian coast on 9 May. The Catalina's crew are: front row (left to right); Flying Officer C Humphrey (navigator), Flying Officer F Weston (3rd pilot), Flight Lieutenant K Murray (captain), Flight Lieutenant W C Robertson (2nd pilot), Flight-Sergeant D Fowler (1st wireless operator/air gunner): back row (left to right); Flight-Sergeant G Swift (air gunner), Flight-Sergeant P G A Alway (Flight mechanic), Flight-Sergeant L W Rose (wireless operator/mechanic) and Flight-Sergeant I W Evans (2nd wireless operator/air gunner). |

Licensing
[edit]This image is in the public domain because it is a mere mechanical scan or photocopy of a public domain original, or – from the available evidence – is so similar to such a scan or photocopy that no copyright protection can be expected to arise. The original itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
This tag is designed for use where there may be a need to assert that any enhancements (eg brightness, contrast, colour-matching, sharpening) are in themselves insufficiently creative to generate a new copyright. It can be used where it is unknown whether any enhancements have been made, as well as when the enhancements are clear but insufficient. For known raw unenhanced scans you can use an appropriate {{PD-old}} tag instead. For usage, see Commons:When to use the PD-scan tag. Note: This tag applies to scans and photocopies only. For photographs of public domain originals taken from afar, {{PD-Art}} may be applicable. See Commons:When to use the PD-Art tag. |
