314 Squadron
Mission: 150
2 May, 1945
Target: Rotterdam, Humanitarium
Lancaster: Terranova Terror (5th mission)
Never did we approach a target with more willingness although everyone was on the alert just the same. There were no mechanical problems on takeoff and on the flight and we arrived back at base on time and made a very safe landing. However, we failed to put our loads down on the targeted area again. Hopefully though they will be retrieved and used well anyway. I love flying but I'm looking forward to getting back to civilian life.
