Spurensucher,
Are you Nils, Heinz Möllenbrok's friend? I am in contact with the Hampden pilot. He does not know the airfield and he does not know the time. He had been briefed to attack Salzbergen but failed to find it because of bad weather. He discoved the unnamed airfield by accident on the way home. The airfield was showing all of its lights so that a German aircraft could land there. He followed that aircraft to the airfield - then the lights went out! The Hampden pilot then flashed the recognition code that the German aircraft had used - and the lights came on. He made a very low level attack and dropped a line of bombs along a line of hangars. He hit them. As the Hampden flew away, the crew reported fires and explosions where their bombs had dropped. I guess that the airfield must have been somewhere along the Dutch border?
