1. SOE Flank 6. This operation was unsuccessful due to one engine beeing feathered, coused by coring, and others showing signs of coring. DZ was not reached as it was neccessary to return to base on three engine with full load aboard.

2. SOE Flank 6. F/O Bickfoprd sucessfully dropped his load (except for three hang up) on the DZ. This was a creditable trip as goe failed on the way out after crossing the English coast, but clear skies over Norway combined with a good land fall on the coast helped the navigation conciderably.

Field state they wait in rain, but no a/c come.
