INTERCEPTORS SHOT DOWN
FATE OF TWO ENEMY PLANES (Rea 10.15 a.m.) Rugby, Sept. 1. Early yesterday afternoon three Arrado float planes took off from their base in occupied France. It was their task to intercept R.A.F. Coastal Command U-boat hunters, Wellingtons, Whitleys and Sunderlands. Instead they met a Coastal Command Beaufighter which in less than two minutes sent two of them crashing into the sea. From other daylight patrols yesterday one Fighter Command and one Coastal Command aircraft are missing.
