Attacks on U-283 during this patrol
10 Feb 1944
Aircraft attack, aircraft shot down:
British Wellington (612 Sqdn RAF/N, pilot F/O R.E. Durnford)
At 21.10 hours, U-283 fought off an aircraft attack by AA fire but was herself lost the next day. They reported the attack but did not claim the aircraft shot down. However, the attacker was apparently the Wellington which reported engine trouble at that time from this area and went missing thereafter with six crewmen aboard.
