Re: Operation 'Oiled'
Thanks Steve, didn't know about that. Been checking 149's "Summary" for Jan. and says 2 aircraft sent to Lossiemouth for "Oiled" but target not located, returned with bombs (1 crash-landed). The 29/30 Jan. "Records of events" seem to be missing ( would have serials) but Appendix (B.403) for that date has.........
Mildenhall 24 sorties
Stradishall 9 "
Mildenhall 2 "
Marham 3 "
Feltwell 5 "
Honington 2 "
Wyton 4 "
"Target D.197 TIRPITZ " I presume that's 149's 2 aborted sorties? but not sure about others. Maybe all scheduled for same target but stood down.
Regards
Nick
