2. mars. Fortsatt opprydding etter slippet på Kluftsjøen. Fra Nystøl sender Rolf to telegrammer til London. Kl. 1500 mottar vi to særmeldinger. én for Høgberget og én for Kluftsjøen. Mannskaper fordeles til de to slipp-plassene. Staal tar ledelsen på Høgberget. jeg på Kluftsjøen. Pent vær. Vi får to fly på begge plassene. På Kluftsjøen ble det endel spredning på skjermene. To containere hadde for stor fallhastighet og gikk delvis gjennom isen. Vi klarte å trekke containeme opp av vannet og berge innholdet. Noen ammunisjonskasser var revnet og patronene spredt utover snøen,
men vi fant igjen det aller meste. Noen forvridde US-karabiner var imidlertid et sørgelig skue.
Seven crews were detailed for SOE operations to Norway.
