Gentlemen. I recently acquired a log book to a Stirling bomb aimer with 199 Squadron. The log book contains many remarks “Spec Ops”, usually without target / destination names other than on some occasions, France.
Can anyone tell me if any of these were of a clandestine nature?
5.2.44 EF192 – France
8.2.44 EE953 – France
11.2.44 EF192 – France
15.2.44 EF262 – France
5.3.44 EE910 – France
7.3.44 EE910 – France
5.4.44 EE262 – France
9.4.44 EE953 – France
17.6.44 LJ518
22.6.44 LJ518
28.6.44 LJ544
27.6.44 LJ518
9.7.44 LJ560
14.7.44 LJ518
28.7.44 LJ518
6.8.44 LJ518
8.8.44 LJ518
12.8.44 LJ
25.8.44 LJ518
27.8.44 LJ518
8.9.44 LJ518
11.9.44 LJ518
12.9.44 LJ518
15.9.44 LJ518
After this date he moved to 171 Squadron and all Special Ops are annotated with a destination in Germany.
Many thanks for your help.

Hi Simon
199 squadron flew Mandrell and window sorties so no clandestine ops.
Have sent you a PM.
