571 Squadron (12 Mosquitoes), target Berlin. Eleven crews attacked the primary, and as the cloud was thinner than usual, some built-up areas were seen by crews in the light of bomb bursts and markers. Failure of siphoning system of jettison tanks on ‘Q’ made it impossible for F/O Higgins to reach Berlin but he bombed Hannover before setting course for base
