Re: july 1943, Lancasters over north italy
According to 'Beyond the dams to the Tirpitz' the 617 Squadron's twelve aircraft bombed a power plant at Aquata Scriva and a transformer station at San Polo D'Enza on night 15/16 July. They then remained at Blida, Algeria until 24th July; bombing Livorno (Leghorn) on the return trip.
So it doesn't seem that they carried out an operation on the 17/18th July.
