Large incoming convoys, both troop-ships and cargo-ships, used Belle Ile, some forty miles above our station, as a landfall. They would split there and proceed both up and down the coast to Brest, St.-Nazaire, and the southern bases. These large convoys, coming once or twice a week, were of course our first task, and subject to weather conditions, we met them from ten to ninety miles out.
