Re: Operation Skate 14.-15. 10. 1944
54 Base sent 1 Mosquito with Controller W/C Woodroffe
627 Sqn sent 7 Mosquitos =
2 Deputy Controllers/Markers
4 Markers
1 Photo Recce to record results
All bombed and all returned safely
The two deputies/markers (DZ643-O and DZ633-D) and two of the markers (DZ641-C and DZ640-U) = 2 x B.22 RTI
The other two markers (DZ631-W and KB345-J) = 2 x No.7 & 2 x No.21 RTI M.flash
Photo recce (DZ530-N) = 2 x 500lb bombs
Personal plea - please do not use American titles (5th Bomb Group) when referring to RAF units, it's just horrible
