English: Floating survivors, some in dinghies, and litter of wreckage from the German Type VIIC U-boat U243 which sank after being attacked by two Sunderland aircraft of No. 10 Squadron, some 170 nautical miles west of St Nazaire, France. The aircraft were H, piloted by Flying Officer W B Tilley, and K, piloted by Flight Lieutenant R E Cargeeg. Tilley, who made the initial attack, and scored hits, was credited with the sinking and awarded the DFC. Sunk by depth charges, U243 lost 11 dead and had 38 survivors. A dinghy and food-pack were dropped by Tilley to the survivors. |
