Flight path September 1942

Hi Guys
Here’s a long shot does anyone know what the flight path would be for a specific mission in particular a 61 Squadron mission of the night of 25th September 1942 to lay mines in the Sweetpea area of the Baltic. I’m reconstructing a map of that night trying to plot positions

Cheers

Wow 17 minutes I’m impressed thanks for your reply. There was only one aircraft lost that night R5679 I’m trying to get my head around the route in and the way back and why it was flying at only 1900 metres when attacked would this be usual. I have now many eye witness accounts of the last moments. it was flying close to a known night fighter station so many questions

Cheers

How about this in paragraph 2. Best I have unless a nav log turns up.
