1-6 July 1944

Overview

Attacks continued on flying bomb sites and railway marshalling yards in France. There is an interesting comment in the Station Diary about the accuracy of gunners shooting at drones during daylight, which was only 4.9% and wondering what their shooting was like at night!

Two aircraft were lost this week, with 6 aircrew killed, 4 becoming POW’s and 5 being injured when one aircraft crashed near Faldingworth, which is just north of Wickenby.
