Previous plane Mephisto lost on Noisy-Le-Sec mission; Orpheus lost on Berneval mission; Perseus lost on Wimereux mission
Mission AARs - 1944/45 Campaign 4
Mission 1 - After a concerning take off (when a collision occurred but thankfully only causing superficial damage to a loaded bomb bay) this was a particularly uneventful mission. No highlight by searchlights over the target and only one encounter with a 110 G-7 that did not spot the Halifax on its line up for the bombing run… once out of the target and adjacent area it was a quiet cruise back to base.
Mission 2 - Only took superficial damage from flak until over the target then lost engine #4 to heavy flak…. One attack from a ju88 G-7 that caused only superficial damage before breaking off, Dornier destroyed in target zone exit.
