Mosquito KB432/M: Took off at 21:00 hrs for raid to the Leuna synthetic oil plant at Merseburg. 20/01/1945
F/Lt Barnes and F/Lt Jenkins were less fortunate. Having successfully dropped their bombs on ETA, and reporting seeing a large glow from the fires on the clouds below them, they were forced to shut down their port engine due to a suspected burst oil cooler. Flying on one engine meant that the flight back took longer than expected, and the crew landed safely at RAF Woodbridge at 02:23hrs. 21/01/1945.
Crew:
F/Lt (65577) John Mayhew BARNES DFC (pilot) RAF - Ok
