Further to my documentation of Spitfires and P-40Es that failed to survive the long trip from the USA and UK, more aircraft have come to light.

Some 10 Avro Ansons on two ships failed to arrive in Australia.

AW594/AW617/619-621/AW662-663/AW670-671 9 Airframes sunk circa 20/08/41 by U-Boat
AW517 1 Airframe sunk by U-Boat circa 10/10/41

The latter’s sister, AW516 got to Oz, and of the predecessor batch, AW618 arrived in Oz

So if anyone can narrow down the ship/ships and location of ships loss, it would be fantastic

Best
Gordy
