TR-L P/O Archer T/O 05:05 landed 09:30 hrs Cloud over target (Lorient) Two runs made and bombs dropped in a stick, one seen to burst on water near power house. Four destroyers seen 20 miles W of Brest. (unsure of word) made and they were recognised as hostile. Sent out first sighting report. This looks to me your man Martin |
