Thanks for the explanation. Sounds very easy but I am sure a great amount of research and time went in to it. Anyway I shall be very careful what I say in future ! The longer I live, the smaller the world seems to get' and these "coincidences " get more numerous all the time.
I looked up the Peenemunde raid in my log book and note that we landed back at Snaith and could not see any references to bad weather at base which, with badly damaged aircraft , was the only other common reason for diversion. I also notice that I logged eight hours, all night, for the trip and wonder why there is around an hour and a half difference between the two trips ? Where was 78 based at that time ? was it Lisset or Holme on Spalding Moor ? All the best , Reg.
