When U-96 attempts to sneak through the Straits of Gibraltar, a low-flying
British plane strafes her and drops two 450# bombs around her. The strafing plane was a radar-equipped "SWORDFISH" bi-plane from the 812 Squadron Air Arm, flown by LCDR Woods. Ironically this plane was from the "ARK ROYAL" which was sunk by a U-boat earlier in the war.
U-96 never got through the straits and into the Mediterranean Sea.
