Disturbing Sinking.
Pictures taken by Flt Lt Prune, Pilot of RAF Coastal Command Sunderland.
HMS Hotpot was sunk yesterday, (Essex class carrier loaned by our American cousins). Apparently by multiple torpedos. Remaining destroyers in task group gave chase to an intermitant sonar contact. RAF Mosquito's also called in. Captain of the HMS White Pudding reports contact moving at 17 knots. Contact lost, assume Seaman Stains was operating ASDIC. 17 knots very disturbing, no explanation. Good friend of mine Dennis Parker has contacts with SOE, he claims to have some intelligence from Norway which might explain this.
