Re: Operation 'Remould' & 616 Squadron 1944
Eight Meteors took part in affiliation with Lancaster bombers and three squadrons of Spitfires, between 35 and 40 Lancasters flew from Newmarket to Gravesend/Manston/Redhill/Beach Head and return via Manston. Meteors took off in sections of two. [ORB then lists the eight pilots]. Meteors intercepted and attacked Lancasters in area between Manston/Gravesend/Beach Head, Lancasters proved easy target in their straggling formation for Meteors while Spitfire escort offered no serious opposition
