Nice video of the FW200C 4-Engine Luftwaffe aircraft

My father served on sloop HMS Starling during the Battle of the Atlantic and he told me a preposterous story about an incident where Johnnie Walker, the ship's Captain complained about how the convoy was being shadowed. Apparently the tactic of the Condors was to circle clockwise out of reach of Anti Aircraft Fire for hours at a time.

Walker apparently got his morse code operator to send a message to the Condor. It read "You are making us dizzy. Could you fly round in the opposite direction please?"

Astoundingly, back came the reply "Anything to oblige!" and the Condor turned and flew in an anti clockwise direction for the rest of the afternoon!
