Terribus-

I'm still puzzling over CE8's experience which you describe today as having gotten "trough with no losses and no opposition."

Les described CW8 convoy (the other convoy leg) as follows:

"The convoy CW-8 (25/26 July) had 21 ships, and lost 5 to the Luftwaffe on 25 July and another 3 to the E boats S19, S20 and S27 off Brighton during the night"

You appear to be ignoring the CW8 experience or at best selecting facts which reinforce your personal point of view, or Les is incorrect in what he posted. Would you care to respond?
