Attacks on U-613 during this patrol
1 May 1943
At 00.07 hours, the inbound boat was attacked by the British Wellington aircraft (172 Sqdn RAF/N, pilot Sgt P.W. Phillips) in the Bay of Biscay. The aircraft used Leigh Light to strafe its target and dropped six depth charges. The boat crash-dived and suffered only light damages, but the hydraulics and the port tyre of the aircraft had been damaged by AA fire and it crash-landed back at the base at Predannack, no casualties among the crew of six.
