Grey said that the big, four -

which have been harrying. Atlantic
convoys, start their trips from a
big °Airdrome .near Bordeaux, in
the .south of France. • They fly
out around Ireland, up to Ice-
land and thence to, • Norway,
where they have.a runway some-
thing over two mites' long,' from
which they take off and fly en.
the 'reverse course.
To combat the ]furriers: Grey,
- said, Britain has been catapulting
Hurricanes from the decks of big
merchant ships. If a Hurricane
alighted on the water, however, it
invariably turned over on its nese
