There was considerable flak over the target,
however it was a very routine trip for us, with
no enemy fighters sighted and our main attention
being concentrated on watching and for our own
aircraft and gliders in the dark. Of course on our return
home at dawn we could see the concentration of ships of the
land and sea invasion force in the English Channel.
