Summary

Description
English: Oblique aerial photograph taken from Short Sunderland Mark III of No. 10 Squadron RAAF, while attacking German type VIIC submarine U-243, some 170 nautical miles west of St Nazaire, France, in the Bay of Biscay. The aircraft were "H" W4030, piloted by Flying Officer W.B. Tilley, and "K", piloted by Flight Lieutenant R.E. Cargeeg. Tilley, who made the initial attack, and scored hits, was credited with the sinking and awarded the DFC. Sunk by depth charges, U243 lost 11 dead and had 38 survivors. A dinghy and food-pack were dropped by Tilley to the survivors.
