134 aircraft to bomb many targets in Germany, with much of the effort on oil targets, and to the Channel ports. A report from Kiel, attacked by Wellingtons, tells of an oil-storage tank set on fire and bomb damage in the naval dockyards but no civilian casualties.
3 Hampdens were also minelaying off Kiel and there were 2 O.T.U. sorties.
There were no losses from any of these operations. The raid by 9 Fairey Battles on Calais and Boulogne was the last occasion on which this aircraft operated with Bomber Command.
