RAF Station Pembroke Dock, Wales. C. 1943-07. Behind the success scored by an aircraft of No. 461 (Sunderland) Squadron RAAF of Coastal Command, which shot down three, possibly four, of eight Junkers 88s which attacked it over the Bay of Biscay, lies a story of Australian inventiveness by 407210 Flying Officer G. Viner of Adelaide, SA. Already known as the Flying Porcupine because of its bristling guns, the Sunderland on this occasion packed a surprise sting in the form of two galley guns which hitherto had not been standard equipment on Sunderlands. The mount is preserved in the AWM collection as RELAWM34737
