*Expected crew.
2. Went 10 to 15 miles beyond landfall and couldnt see the ground sor solid undercast. The base of which was about 1000'. Turned around near I.P. No drop.
Route: 21:20 6400', Wells - 00:32, 3000', Vestrø - DZ - 00:57, Vestrø -04:24 5500', Wells.
Weather caused to turn back. Lay of land at target was similar to that at landfall, so believed it useless to continue on in when there appeared to be no break iun the undercast.
1+2: Not completed, bad weather.
