Notes:
|
The Group was briefed at 0500 hours. At 0700 hours visibility was only 500 yards, but after a week's stand down because of bad weather, a decision was made to fly. Despite the poor visibility, by 0838 all operational aircraft were airborne. The field was then closed at 0900 and plans were made for diversion of the Group upon its return. At 1415 the 401st aircraft began returning; several landed safely at Deenethorpe but most others were diverted to other airfields. The result was that by 1700 hours five aircraft had landed at Deenthorpe, 23 were at Ossington and the remainder at four other air bases, where they stayed until November 18.
