Re: 1942-Nov-06,14.31h., ventura II,AJ220,21 sqdr,F/Lt. D.O.Brown
Hmmmm, 2 Group R.A.F. by Bowyer does not offer much either.
Four Venturas of 21 Squadron set out on the 6th. Again it was misty and this time they wrongly pinpointed their position at the Dutch coast. They had intended to attack shipping at Massluis but the leader, W/C Werfield, settled for a ship in Rotterdam. One bombed barges at Massluis, one abandoned the mission and YH-X disappeared. Six others were despatched in pairs to Roosendaal, Ijmuiden and Den Helder. Only F/O Hicks bombed, again due to bad visibility. YH-V and L both failed to return, probably flak victims. Pages 261 and 262
