On arriving in the target area they found 10/10ths low cloud which obscured the landscape below and made it impossible to pin point the target. Their load of bombs were dropped as ordered from around 5,000 feet.

The aircraft and crew returned safely to RAF Tain landing at 0240 hrs on 31st March 1942.

Two hours into the flight over the North Sea the starboard inner engine of Wing Commander Young's Halifax went u/s and he was unable to maintain height with the engine feathered. The bombload was jettisoned at 2222 hrs.

The aircraft and crew returned safely to RAF Tain landing at 0108 hrs on 28th April 1942 having been unable to reach the target due to engine trouble.

The weather conditions experienced were very similar to the previous night. Visibility was almost perfect and Wing Commander Young stated that the outward trip was made in broad daylight and that it was almost twilight over the target area. The aircraft commenced the attack at 0035 hrs from 6,700 feet although the crew were not certain that the Tirpitz was attacked as ground visibility in the area was at this point obscured by smoke. The Navigator, Flight Sergeant Miner, believed that the bomb was dropped in error in Strandenfjord. The Rear Gunner, Sgt Spriggs, reported to Wing Commander Young the sighting of an enemy fighter near the target area and it was successfully avoided. Light flak concentrations, searchlights and aerodromes were attacked with good results after the primary target had been bombed.

The aircraft and crew returned safely to RAF Tain landing at 0514 hrs on 29th April 1942.
