BC target 8/9 March 1940?
 

Hi guys

In connection with my earlier enquiry, does anyone know the target(s) of Bomber Command on the night of 8/9 March 1940, and which squadrons were involved?

Cheers
Brian

Hi Steve

Thanks for your response.

However, I have since found that the incident I was researching occurred on 9 March 1941 (not 1940 as reported on Surrey Constabulary's website!!

Brian,

Once again no operations flown by No.3 Group on March 8th (B.488) or March 9th (B.489 )1941, all cancelled due to weather conditions.

( Taken Via No.3 Group Summary of Events Air 25/52)
