Time over target ~ Peernemunde August 1943

I'm hoping to establish some finer details relating to the loss of my Uncle's aircraft, Lancaster EE147 of 619 squadron, on the night of 17/18 August 1943, at Peenemunde.

A key piece of information, which I'm sure must be known or able to be calculated, is the time this aircraft would have been expected over the target. Is there anyone here who has studied, and or has records of, that operation and could advise me on this?

In the first instance, even a simple Wave 1, Wave 2, Wave 3 chronology and where 619 would have been in Wave 3 (that much I know) would help. As I understand it, they were using 5 Group's time and distance technique on the run in to the target, so there would have been some sort of orderly timing. And yes I know, if I had Martin Middlebrook's book I could probably just look it up! But I don't, sorry about that.

many thanks, Don
