1. Usual C - flashing "A" letter. Pinpointed small hill between 2 lakes. Gee fix obtained in vicinity and light flashing !A!. Dropped along lights. GUnner verified light flashing "A" at DZ which later became a steady light when a/c circling for run-up. Dropped on one run.

2. Exact pinpoint was found & visually identified. A reception as briefed was in operation. Good lights & clear morse. Load dropped in one run. Rear gunner saw people in ground running to containers. Weather fair but much shower cloud over route and bumpy conditions. Enemy opposition negligible.

3. Weather conditions 10/10th clouds & severe icing forced the captain to abandon the trip at pos: 6104/0345E at 01:40 hrs. (ab 50 miles west of target).

Load RTB.
