	HMS Poppy & PQ17 by John Beardmore
		Of course he and his aircraft were totally blasted to smithereens by the intensive barrage of fire at close range and crashed into the sea in flames just ahead of the convoy, but instead of inspiring his squadron to press home their attack many of them dropped their torpedoes and turned away.
		I well remember on my own ship the Poppy, the First Lieutenant saying to the captain, "My God - we can't just leave these poor devils to their fate and shove off," but this was exactly what we were being ordered to do.
		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.
