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 neccessasry to return to base on three engine with full load aboard.
2. SOE Flank 6. F/O Atkinson reached his DZ but the trip was unsuccessful as no ground reception. Light flak encountered at 6013N 1107E but no damage to the aircarft was substained.
3. 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.
