Re: mystery squadron with 2000 lbs
6 Mosquitos of 109 squadron were dispatched to bomb a power station at Lutterade. This was an Oboe trial. The first Oboe-aimed bombs were dropped by Squadron Leader H. E. Bufton and his navigator Flight Lieutenant E. L. Ifould. 2 other crews bombed on Oboe but the equipment in the remaining 3 aircraft did not function properly and they bombed elsewhere. The Mosquitos all returned safely.
from The Bomber Command War Diaries It doesn't say that 2000 lbs bombs were dropped, but the number of aircraft matches the number of bombs, so it's possible that each aircraft carried 1 x 2000 lbs bomb?
