Mosquito DZ712: Took off at 21:03 hrs for Night Rangers mission. 22/03/1944
Although they did not claim attacks, their operation took them over Bremen at roof top level, getting very low to avoid the intense anti-aircraft fire which was being thrown up at them. They reported flak of all types and in taking evasive action, F/O Atkinson felt a sharp tug at the wing of Mosquito DZ712, On his return to base, the ground crews found a piece of domestic wireless aerial wrapped round the mainplane. This was a tough experience and was indicative of the type of opposition the Squadron was up against. Landing at 00:30 hrs. 23/03/1943
Crew:
F/O (47413) George ATKINSON DFM (pilot) RAF - OK
W/O (743152) Randolph PRIMER (obs.) RAFVR - OK
