1. Completed. DZ found by map reading good visibility and lights as briefed, flashing "Y". Panniers dropped slightly to starboard running in from S, containers may have overshot slightly. R/Gunner saw load strike ground and people waiting.
Route: Base - Flamboro Head - 5645/0615E - 5800/0910E - 5911/1050E - DZ- RSR.
Eng: 19:11 1000' 02:30 1000'
Nor: 22:26 7000' 23:38 7000'
Same low cloud near English coast. Very little cloud after 200 miles from coast. Vis. good, no ground mist. Norway: Very good.
23:38 hrs, 5910/1057E at 7000'. Two coupled with lights 1000 yards apart flashing simltanously every 2 seconds.
Its suggeste that the two lights seen at 5910/1057E are extremely useful navigational aids, and also a warning against a nearby heavy flak position. These lights may not be as easily seen from the W as they are from E as the appear to be close in to precipitous shore.
Diverted Milltown. T.R 17:34
