Hi,

Details from "Bomber Command War Diaries" by Middlebrook & Everitt.

50 Hampdens, Wellingtons and Whitleys to many targets in Germany, Italy and France and Minelaying.
1 Wellington lost.

From Bomber Command Losses vol1 by Chorley

149 Sqdn Wellington Ic P9272 "OJ-A" opp: Kiel
T/o 2022 Mildenhall to bomb dockyard facilities. All reported pow.

Not the aircraft you seek,sorry, looks like they were well spread over Europe that night.

Alex
