    The following was posted by Laurent Rizzotti on another forum.

    “On the 1st October ML735 took off at 12.25 for an anti submarine patrol with 11 crew (7 RAAF and 4 RAFVR) the Captain was 429427 Fl/Lt Godsall RAAF with 419013 F/O E. .B. Willis 2nd Pilot RAAF – 408152 F/O D.J. Jennings RAAF 3rd Pilot. Their operational area was to be off the Norwegian coast but what they did not know was that on that day 12/ZG26 was moving all its BF110G from Oerlandet near Trondheim to a new base at Herdla which is on an island off Bergen. They attacked the Sunderland and shot it down 30 miles west of Bergen with the loss of the entire crew.”
