RAF bombing on 15/08/1944

Hi ,
On august 15 1944 the RAF bombed during daylight several airfields in Holland and Belgium . Two off the airfields in Belgium were Tirlemont and St-Trond ( homebase off IV./NJG1 ). Who can help me with information on this operation ?
Thanks

Alain,

A little info on RAF Bomber Command diary:http://www.raf.mod.uk/bombercommand/aug44.html

15 August 1944
1,004 aircraft - 599 Lancasters, 385 Halifaxes, 19 Mosquitos, 1 Lightning - attacked 9 airfields in Holland and Belgium in preparation for a renewed night offensive against Germany. Visibility was perfect and all raids were considered successful. 3 Lancasters lost.

If you follow link, then you have two pics of the bombed airfields in Belgium.

Groet,

Leendert
