RAF operation code name - Moleing
Hello,
Just like the code word 'Gardening', this is used to for operations. Stumbled upon it in a 150 Squadron ORB for October 1942. What exactly were these 'moleing' operations? Kind regards, Timon

Re: RAF operation code name - Moleing
Timon,
From this website: https://www.aviationmuseum.net/FlixtonAirfield.htm 'Moleing’ was the code name given to sorties by individual aircraft with the object of causing maximum destruction to enemy industrial production. Regards, Leendert

Re: RAF operation code name - Moleing
In Dutch the verb 'mollen' indeed has the definition of ruining something.
Thanks guys.
