Visibility was good apart from a slight smoke screen in the target area. One 4,000 lb bomb was dropped from 8,000 feet and seen to burst falling around 150 yards South East of Tirpitz. Three of the four 500 lb bombs landed 100 yards to the East of the target in the fjord while one landed on the shore. Bursts were seen from all. Searchlights were active in the area and the aircraft was caught and held in by them for several minutes. Flak was accurate for height and direction.

The aircraft and crew returned safely to RAF Lossiemouth landing at 0500 hrs on 29th April 1942.
