Details of RAF raid to luebeck
I am looking for details about a RAF raid to Luebeck on July 30th 1942.
As I have read in the Internet, that this was a bombing raid with only a single Mosquito. Regarding the mentioned date, only No.105 Sqn. was equipped with Mosquitoes at that Time - right? Does anybody know anything about this sortie? The more details the better! Thanks a lot! |

Re: Details of RAF raid to luebeck
This page of the 105 Sqn ORB is very poor quaility. This is what I believe it says:
P/O RG [Roy] Ralston and P/O S [Syd] Clayton were in W.4065, Up: 12:13; Down:16:16 "Lubeck successfully bombed and photographed from 21.000 ft. Landed Manston owing to failure of Starboard engine through over heating." There is a picture of this crew here: http://www.flightglobal.com/airspace...jpg-15145.aspx Regards Dave Wallace |
