Re: 78 Squadron Whitley Recon 18 Dec 1940 - 8 a.m.,
78 Sqn was a training squadron in 1939/40 and was not at Dishforth either on 18.12.39
51 Sqn sent two Whitleys to Hornum and Borkum at 04:00 and 04:05 hrs, they both returned at 09:45
So the article is right about the base and the type of aircraft but not the number of aircraft or the squadron involved
