is about what happened to Halifax HR793 on that raid.

Included in the description is this list of waypoints of the route.

"The route was 5134N 0330E, 5059N 0626E, Wuppertal, 5120N 0721E, 5033N 0723E, 5038N 0600E, 5122N 0320E."

I used Google Maps to find towns near the waypoints.

5134N 0330E (Domburg), 5059N 0626E (Ameln), Wuppertal, 5120N 0721E (Gevelsberg), 5033N 0723E (Bremscheid), 5038N 0600E (Eupen), 5122N 0320E (near Knokke-Heist)

Thanks for the reply , just one more little question. Do you have any idea where the bombers left the UK ?

Most left England in an area between Orfordness and Southwold

Some of the 6 Group a/c came down the North Sea, skirting Norfolk and joined up with the rest

The map is too congested to pick out the 8 Group sqns
