Hi Rainer,
Thank you very much for the information. There is no reason MOROSINI would have gone north of 45 N as she was short of fuel. She was taking Route 2 which started at 45°02' N. So we have to look for an attack below this latitude. Only the attack of 09/1422 fits but it is too far west. As I have explained she must have been about 150 miles from the rendezvous point when she made her last signal. I have not found either any air attack that is plausible.
Best regards,
Platon
