According to Franks' Fighter Command Losses the target was St. Omer. 3 of 174 Squadron's Hurricanes were lost, 2 at/near St. Omer (both pilots POW) and one in the sea (pilot rescued). There also seem to be 4 122 Sqn and and 2 154 Sqn Spitfires lost on this operation (or a similar one to the same target on the same date)

From the Fighter Command Report on Active Operations for 30/7/42 (in AIR 24/559), the target was Saint-Omer/Fort Rouge aerodrome.
