RAF mission Ramrod 127 on 7/9/43

Anyone know how I could find out more information on this particular RAF mission flown on 7/9/43?

What I do know:
1-bombers were RAF B25 Mitchells,@12 of them,bombing St.Omer,France.(Only 4 RAF bomber squadrons had this type in July 43)
2-one of the Spitfire squadrons on escort was 316 Squadron (Polish)
3-claims made by Wilhelm Galland of JG26 for 1 (confirmed) Spitfire and by Polish pilot Antoni Murkowski of 316 Sqdn for 1 Fw190 (probable) and awarded 1 FW190 (confirmed)

Known facts were derived from Caldwell's "JG26 War Diary:1943-1945" and from little info on the web I could find.One possible source for this may be Bowyer's "2 Group RAF" but have to get a copy to see.

Any ideas where I may be able to find some documentation of this mission? Didnt the RAF+Luftwaffe have some records of the particulars of this mission? Looking to find out what squadrons were involved,number of planes for both sides,etc.

Any help is appreciated....thanks.
