A couple more in possibly same area BF15 on 12.06.44
"K/59 - A/C was on A/S patrol south of Ireland when a suspicious oil streak was sighted in posn 49'40'N, 09'40'W at 0611 hours. Gouts of oil were coming to the surface and spreading out. At 0637 an attack was made with Proctor but no results were observed. Oil continued to come to the surface and streak was eventually estimated to be 6,1/2 miles long. Patrol resumed".
"F/59 - A/C was on A/S patrol in the same area as K/59 when the same suspicious oil slick was sighted in posn. 49'36'N, 09'40'W. K/59 was seen to make his attack and "F" decided to attack also with Proctor which he did at 0727. No results observed, at this time large blobs were still coming to the surface. At 0943 in posn. 49'52'N, 09'38'W a U-boat periscope and feather sighted in the middle of the smooth oil patch. Sight was lost of the periscope when A/C turned to intercept and was not regained.
Any help appreciated thanks.
