Mission 1 - Lovely job - a milk run. We lost a supercharger after we bombed but our F/Engineer got it fixed. Didn't see a fighter (there were 2 but both novices who failed to spot) , flak didn't get close. Good mission.
Mission 2 - Light superficial damage. Probable claimed on a HE219 over the target by both MUG and BA - in reality it took superficial damage but lost contact. Very disappointing only 30% on target. Flight back was uneventful as was the landing.
Mission 4 - Bloody long way through the murk but it's rather nice to fly over the continent and know we own most of it now. As we were amongst the first there the place wasn't properly alight but the Pathfinders must have put their TIs in the right place. Haven't seen a sign of Jerry for awhile - long may it continue!
Mission 5 - Another milk run. Long may it continue!
Mission 7 - Lousy weather, poor visibility over target; heavy flak but no sign of night fighters.
