Re: 8 October 1940 - Daylight raid on London

Thank you, Robert, it would be the second wave which carried out 'my' raid.

I've just found a link which times the first air raid warning of the morning as being at 0844 BST, less than 6 minutes before the first bombs fell. (https://www.lbbd.gov.uk/wp-content/u...tober-1940.pdf)

I assume the unit operated from Saint-Omer, but would I be correct in thinking the aircraft would have dropped the bombs from about 30000 ft?
