Caught on the Surface by Robert Taylor


Caught on the Surface by Robert Taylor

In a strange quirk of fate, a Sunderland of 461 Sqn RAAF identification letter U, destroys submarine U-461, a type XIV tanker, one of three German submarines caught on the surface by Allied aircraft in the Bay of Biscay on July 30, 1943. At extreme low level, Sunderland U braves a barrage of gunfire from all three encircling German submarines to deliver a successful depth charge attack, sinking U-461 in a single pass. In an act of grace, the Sunderland pilot returned to the scene to drop a dingy to the U-boat survivors.

Ground crew performing routine maintenance on a Sunderland on the slipway at Pembroke.

Fat Alberts Day Off by Ivan Berryman.
 He was part of the crew of a No.88 Sqn Sunderland flying boat which went to the aid of HMS Amethyst during the Yangtze Incident in 1949.  Over three days they landed a doctor and medical aid to the ship under a heavy barrage of fire - the aircraft was hit several times and damaged but remained airworthy.

Clipped Signature - Gerald Moreby.
 The German Type IXB U-Boat U-107 completed 13 active patrols between 1941 and 1944, well above the average lifespan for a U-boat during this period.  U-107 sunk 39 ships with a total tonnage in excess of 200,000 tons.  Shown here under attack from a Sunderland, this would be her ultimate demise.  On 18th August 1944, Sunderland EJ150 of No.201 Sqn sunk the U-Boat with depth charges in the Bay of Biscay with the loss of the entire crew.

U-107 by Ivan Berryman.
 A limited edition print issued in part to raise funds for The Maritime Air Trust project 'Constant Endeavour'.  A commemorative tribute to be erected in Westminster Abbey to all who served in RAF Coastal Command and their successors, together with the overseas squadrons and those from the Commonwealth and Allied Air Forces.
