VICHY DENIAL
IDENTITY OF LOST PLANE SHOT DOWN OFF GIBRALTAR. NO FRENCH MACHINE IN VICINITY. (By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright) LONDON, December 29. The Vichy radio has flatly denied Axis reports that the unidentified plane fired upon and brought down into the sea off Gibraltar on Christmas Day was a French machine from Morocco with high personages on board. The German and Italian reports said that the plane was fired upon by British and Spanish antiaircraft guns. Tonight’s French broadcast declares that the plane was brought down by Spanish anti-aircraft guns and that no French plane left Morocco for France that day.
