Related existing record: 16 March 1943 — 16 March 1943 Channel Islands Sea Defence diary. This separate source account concerns material already represented in that record; it does not by itself establish an additional incident.
Several reconnaissance aircraft over the Channel Islands and Normandy. Three British airmen in a dinghy between Guernsey and Alderney were picked up by one of our harbour-protection boats and handed over to the Luftwaffe.
