The story
Flying-Bomb Site
10 Lancasters of 617 Squadron and 6 Pathfinder Mosquitoes attempted to destroy a site which had been missed on an earlier raid, but the markers were 200 yards from the target and, with the Lancasters' bombs well grouped around these, the site was again undamaged. No aircraft lost.
Minor Operations: 10 Mosquitoes to Cologne, 8 to Duisburg and 3 to Bochum, 6 R.C.M. sorties, 26 aircraft minelaying off Texel and French ports, 28 O.T.U. sorties. No losses.
