Hello David,

Thank you very much for answering so soon and I know that 109 Squadron had a different task to do that evening. Do I understand it correct from your description that 109 Squadron made their own plan how to approach targets, when they had PFF tasks? That would perhaps explain why their routes were kept 'secret'?

I will look for other raid track maps whether these give away some clues about the routes taken by Pathfinder-squadrons late 1942. Perhaps I am lucky to discover that they used a specific assembly point at the UK coast, before crossing the Northsea. That would ease the calculations about their average speed flown.

Again thank you for the details, best regards,

Marcel
