The location assigned to this record is essentially tentative, being derived from the unverified location of loss that is cited by Whittaker.
Badcall Bay (on Handa Island) is not noted as such on the 1997 edition of the OS 1:50,000 map, but the name may apply to the prominent bay on the SSE side of island (around NC 139 473). There is, however, a Badcall Bay (name centred NC 160 411) about 7km to the SSE; the townships of Upper and Lower Badcall are at NC 156 420 and NC 165 420 respectively.
