Anti Sub Patrol Logistics

fredjhh,

Thanks for the clarification on the St Eval Ops. I would really like to hear a detailed account of one or more of your anti-sub patrols while at St Eval. From some of your prior posts I know these were long 8 to 11 hr ops flying at low altitude. Curious if the gunners on the Whitley were only responsible to defend from enemy aircraft or did you postion them so they could engage the sub? Was the preference to bomb a sub or postion the Whitley so the gunners had the best shot? An entry in Doug's logbook (rear gunner) he states "anti-sub patrol - two sightings - two attacks - 800 rnds"
