Last Operation Information
Start Date | 01-01-1944 |
End Date | 01-01-1944 |
Takeoff Station | Gransden Lodge |
Day/Night Raid | Night |
Operation | Berlin. 421 Lancasters, 28 losses (6.7%). German fighters were directed to the main bomber stream early in the approach and the German controller was not deceived by the Mosquito diversion on Hamburg. However, the night-fighters were not particularly effective over the target and the flak was also restricted in height due to their presence. Berlin was cloud covered once again and the sky-marking was not especially accurate. Bombing was scattered but mainly in the southern suburbs. Only 21 houses and one industrial building were destroyed and 79 people killed. |
Reason for Loss | Crashed near St Pol-sur-Ternoise, France |
