Hello Martin,
The submarine involved must have been the Italian UARSCIEK (Tenente di vascello Raffaello Allegri) who reported being attacked twice by bombers North of Ras Haleima (31°38' N, 25°54' E) on that day. The first time at 1630 when a twin-engine bomber dropped four bombs which fell 150 meters astern, the second at 1745 when a Blenheim bomber dropped six bombs 200 meters ahead. In both instances the submarine replied with machine-gun fire. The damaged bomber was probably from the second attack, do you know which bomber was involved in the other attack? Thanks.
