U-269 

U269 had been commissioned in July 1942 and now belonged to the 6th U-Boat Flotilla based at the occupied French port of St Nazaire. Sea trials of new equipment during April and May 1944 had resulted in U269 moving to the port of Brest and it was from here that her commander Oberleutnant Georg Uhl, began a patrol on 6th June. In the early hours of the morning of 11th June U269 was detected on the surface by Liberators radar approximately six miles away. The aircraft, commanded by F/L J Posnett, made visual contact shortly afterwards and began a depth charge attack during which time she was engaged by 20mm and 37mm anti-aircraft fire from the submarine. The Liberator's outer starboard engine was hit as was the fuselage and some control surfaces. The damage was sufficient to prevent all but one of the depth charges from releasing and the U-Boat sustained no damage.

The Liberators crew dealt with an onboard fire and jettisoned the remaining depth charges and the aircraft slowly regained height and eventually returned safely to base.

Having survived this attack U269 was attacked and sunk by the Frigate HMS Bickerton two weeks later. Thirty three of the crew were saved but the casualties included the commander.

ARTIST
Featured Artist - David Dipnall



David Dipnals evocative images of the restful idyllic scenes of southern England are well known, epitomising, as they have for years, all that is endearing about traditional English landscapes. His well known images of his beautiful and fertile homeland are a world away from Australia, where he now spends most of his time. In the last decade, David Dipnall estimates that he has travelled nearly 2 million miles, continuing to maintain a busy work schedule of exhibitions and regularly commuting between England and Australia. His originals are highly sought after, and over fifty of his images have been published as limited edition prints, many of which have sold out. Always a traveller, he believes in the philosophy that absence makes the heart grow fonder, and his beautifully detailed traditional English landscapes are definitely painted from the heart.
