Foreman states 130 Sq was on a Roadstead which makes absolutely no sense with the details you provide.
I can think of a Ramrod mission which I believe closely resembled the Circus jobs. Any idea? Can you or anyone else also say what was the difference between a Ramrod and a Circus mission?

Hello Stig
Sorry for the delay in getting back to you - as per my piece, the raid information was courtesy of Hans Nauta, and the information on Pickstone comes from his son. I also have to agree with Chris Goss "There are countless errors in the Losses book so this does not surprise me"
cheers
