In looking through the book "Even the Birds Were Walking" there are mentioned a number of attacks by blenhiem aircraft of the 1404 Met Flt of the RAF on U-boats in the Bay of Biscay here are the dates and locations of them:
30 Jun 41 ZZ 5959-C 1225hrs 47'45"N 10'30"W F/Lt Dennis Wykeham-Martin
12 Aug 41 Z5959-C 0755hrs 47'43"N 10'15"W "
5 Oct 41 Z7406-A 0920hrs 47'55'N 10'32"W P/O Jack Portman
50 miles later that same day this aircraft attacked another U-boat and was credited at the time with a sinking but I have found no record of any U-boat loss on this date
The book has pictures of the first 3 attacks and I hope it is of some use to someone on this site
