Hi Jochen,

540 Sqn ORB 20May43

F/O A. Stewart and F/S M.W. Pike (Mosquito DZ352); Up 10:10; Down 16:20; Italian Adriatic ports (Fiume, Trieste, Pola, Venice etc). On homeward track photographed 2 A/Fs at Juvincourt

F/O R.A. Hosking and F/S H.A. Sowerbutts (Mosquito DZ438 ); Up 11:05; Down 16:35; Augsburg area: after photographing targets to the west of Augsburg encountered heavy flak on eastern side.

F/L R.A. Lenton and Sgt R.S. Haney (Mosquito DZ473); Up 10:57; Down 16:32; Swinemunde and Stettin: Photos taken of Ebsjerg, Odense ferries between Nyborg and Korsor, Agno A/F, Swinemunde and A/F, Stettin, Politz, Peenemunde A/F, S. tip of Rugen island, Sassnitz, Abbeltoft peninsular, Aarhus, Silkeborg and shipping.

2nd and 3rd look likely candidates but no 540 Sqn a/c to Potsdam area on this day.

Potsdam flight could have been a 1409 (Met) Flt Mosquito but there was no Bomber Command raid that night so I'd say it was doubtful.

Regards
