Re: 3(F)121 Operation 7 August 1940
Peter
Thank you for the time clarification.
I agree re Wissant. I believe all previous commentators have assumed the Convoy was picked up by Freya at night when this was not the case at all. In any event, and although ULTRA were picking up references to Freya as early as August I don't think it was fully operational. I need to check R V Jones but I also have a feeling the British had no idea what Freya actually was at this time....but thats another issue!
Yes, I did realise this was Weiss' narrative but you/Larry may wish to correct the error stating that balloons were first employed on CW9.
Thanks as ever for your assistance.
