<HTML>Hi Bill Watt,
I finally found the answer and you were right, congratulations! Here\'s what I found:
Successes against U-boats were at first non-existent, but rescues of torpedoed crews gave the aircraft (Sunderlands) a good reputation, starting on 18 September 1939 when two of No. 228 Squadron\'s aircraft had the whole crew of 34 from the Kensington Court in hospital an hour after their ship sank off the Scilly Isles.
Best regards,
Fin
