As aircraft turned away another 4 red TIs were seen to fall in the same place. Wind broadcast by 97/G was 216/17 mph. Two further sticks of bombs seen to fall accurately across aiming point. Yellow Oboe marker appeared on aiming point among red TI just after aircraft had closed bomb doors.

Operations “Thiverny”, our 26th operation, was our second daylight raid on 19 July 1944 at East Kirkby, Lincolnshire. Although it was much clearer to see our target, it was nonetheless scary, because the enemy fighters also had a better view of us approaching. A fighter did in fact spot us and caught our fuselage with several shots of tracer bullets. Our skipper did the famous corkscrew and our two rear gunners, mid upper and tail, fired back fairly quickly. Luckily for us they appeared to frighten the fighter off and it didn’t follow up with the fight. We were very lucky to escape any casualties, as on landing we discovered 17 bullet holes in our Lancaster.
