SB2U Vindicators in Flight
The surviving vessels of the Axis convoy attacked by Malta air forces yesterday were today reported continuing on their course south eastwards. Today three Wellingtons of 69 Squadron were sent to carry out a further attack. Fifty miles north of Cape Aamer the Wellingtons came upon two merchant vessels with three destroyers as escort. The bombers released twelve 500lb bombs which they reported landing within 10 yards of the larger merchant ship. No damage report has yet been received.
