Long bloody flight! Several run-ins with Jerry. Some damage, one of the lads hit (grazed his abdomen). Break in clouds gave Jerry spotlight chance to light us up; hit by flak … dropped bombs, but do not believe we hit designated target. Jerry waiting for us on flight home too …
Damages: starboard wing root, port wing fuel tank, port rudder hit, Navigator station oxygen, landing gear indicator, control cables hit, numerous holes in QAR.
Time to sleep.
