Saw several enemy fighters, but none did damages to us. Hits by flak damaged starboard rudder controls, autopilot mechinism, rendered starboard wing brake and landing gear inoperable, damaged oxygen for RO post and cut left cheek of Cpl. Gregory (FE)
We were off target, but believe that a bomb or two hit target (10%). Flew home at 1500m due to loss of oxygen for RO post.
Rough landing with no starboard landing gear. Some damages to starboard wing and engine props.
