This was pursued through 19 October and there was no mention of the Zagreb area or anything fitting the mission you are interested in. Strangely, "Mosquito(s)" operating in the MTO was not mentioned once during this 10 day period. All of the reports for all air commands in the Mediterranean were reviewed: MAAF, MSAF, MTAF, MCAF, BAF.
