The show to-day was BENGHASI and ten planes – one acting as a reserve plane and carrying mechanics to assist in refuelling operations etc. – set off for L.G. 75 on the first stage of their Journey. Nine machines continued on to BENGHASI. Screamers had been fitted to our bombs and empty beer bottles were also tossed over the side when the raiders reached their objective, but unfortunately this visit to this axis port was more productive of sound than damage. Photographs revealed that most of the bombs had overshot their mark and had fallen in to the sea.
After a total of nearly 60 hours flying, all machines returned in the late afternoon.
