HMS Poppy & PQ17 by John Beardmore During the next three days several U-Boat attacks were driven off by our own destroyers, as was a rather half-hearted attack by seven Heinkel 115 torpedo carrying aircraft, who dropped their torpedoes and scurried off when they met the intensive barrage put up by the convoy and its escorts. Throughout the day there were sporadic attacks by groups of torpedo carrying Heinkel 115s and Junkers 88 and there was a splendid teatime display of pyrotechnics and rapid anti-aircraft fire by the U.S. destroyer Wainwright when she came over from the U.S. squadron to fuel from our fleet oil tanker, the Aldersdale. We in Poppy joined up with the Corvettes Lotus and La Malouine when we were ordered to screen the anti-aircraft ship Pozarica (carrying the late Godfrey Winn as War Correspondent) and together we retired (if that is the correct word) to the eastward at our maximum speed of 15 knots. www.cbrnp.com /RNP/Flower/ARTICLES/Poppy/Beardmore-1.htm   (4990 words)
