I've got one more. ADI(K) report No. 312/1944 (Interrogation of Ltn. Erich Keller of Stab III./KG 100, shot down 22.38 hrs on 4 July 1944) says:
"The six or seven aircraft carrying F-X bombs took off from Toulouse/Blagnac … at 19.30 hours … The 6N+DT flew out over the Channel … the bomb was eventually released, aimed at what P/W describes as a large destroyer."
6N+DT was shot down off the mouth of the Orne. Ulf Balke lists it as a K-3, W.Nr. 4718.
