“Silver Eagle”.Over Koblenz/Mosel.

Bakewell's 362-J took off at 08:35, released twelve M17s at 11:59 from 23,080 feet on a heading of 004°, and landed at Hardwick at 14:35. They dropped on PFF. Results were not observed, completely undercast. Sortie credit was given. They logged meagre, predicted, inaccurate flak at Coblenz at 11:56 from 23,000 feet. Ship Bigolin 837-X was observed to fall off at Brussels; they called in to find out if there was an airfield large enough to land on; it seemed under control.
