next patrol, this Coastal Command B24 approached us from 165 degrees (80 degrees true) mid-morning as we are just about exited from the Bay of Bisque.
we do the usual drill: dive to 50 m, change course by 90 degrees, listen for the depth bombs to be dropped where we used to be, then come back up to periscope depth and find the verdampt zoomie.
this time, when we come back to periscope depth, we are able to find the zoomie. he drops another depth bomb and then pulls up and performs a loop. i swear to God.
i doubt that any model B24 could perform a loop, at any altitude, let alone at sea level. if it wasn't so unexpected, i would have taken a screen shot.
has anyone else seen a bomber perform a loop while on sub patrol?
