I’m looking for information on which unit(s) and aircraft bombed Sunderland, including the freighter SS Eaglescliffe Hall, on 10th August 1941 (I presume that Sunderland was bombed as well, all I know is the attack on SS Eaglescliffe Hall which was at anchor off Sunderland at the time)
Regards, Rob

Brian Pear’s diary http://www.ne-diary.bpears.org.uk/Inc/ISeq_21.html does not have an entry for the ship or any bombs dropped on that date…..
that said, via the magic of Wiki, there is an eye-witness account http://www.bbc.co.uk/ww2peopleswar/stories/56/a4078956.shtml
Still no luck on the german unit though…. NORTHEAGLE where are you?…..
This website gives the date as the 12th… http://www.familyheritage.ca/Articles/merchant1.html
