The crew reported that visibility was good with a full moon. On reaching the target area and identifying Tirpitz a 4000 lb bomb was dropped from 8,000 feet. Observations estimated that it undershot the target by about 150 yards astern of the ship and a flash was seen. The aircraft stayed in the target area until 0135 dropping flares and 500 lb bombs. Unlike the aircraft who were detailed to fly at a much lower altitute, this crew reported that although there was much light flak there was little heavy or accurate flak over the target. This crew also reported seeing an aircraft on fire which crash landed on a frozen lake to the east of Lofjord. (The aircraft that the crew witnessed crash landing on the frozen lake east of Lofjord was more than likely Halifax 1048 TL-S from 35 Squadron flown by Pilot Officer Don MacIntyre and crew - LD)

The aircraft and crew returned safely to RAF Lossiemouth landing at 0517 hrs on 28th April 1942.
