Further to my last reply; it struck me that you only saw the large number of aircraft from 78 that diverted from their base and that could have been due to an accident blocking the runway at 78's base. If that was'nt the case there may have been a large number of badly damaged aircraft that would have been glad to get down quickly. Although we had a quiet trip there were 42 aircraft that were missing from the raid, so there must have been a lot of later action.Reg
