Re: May 3, 1943 - Amsterdam power station raid - 487 Sqn Venturas wiped out - was there an earlier fighter sweep?
Target Support was to be provided by the Hornchurch Wing (122 and 453 Sqns). They took off early and were recalled but not before the damage was done
The fighter escort for the Ijmuiden and Amsterdam raids was refered to as 12 Group Ramrod no 16 and involved 8 fighter squadrons to Amsterdam and 6 to Ijmuiden.

Martin
