Description
English: Bay of Biscay. C. 1943-08-06. A Sunderland aircraft of the famous No. 10 Squadron RAAF of Coastal Command sighted a U-boat while on anti-submarine patrol. It attacked and sank the enemy craft but was itself hit by flak and compelled to "ditch". Survivors were rescued by a sloop of the Royal Navy where it chanced that a member of the same squadron, 2058 Flight Lieutenant J. B. Jewell DFC of Adelaide, SA, was spending his leave under the scheme for closer co-operation between the RAF and the Navy. Here a rope is being thrown from the sloop to the survivors of the Sunderland who are clinging to a portion of the starboard wing which had broken off, with its float attached.
Date Taken on 6 August 1943
