Messina Train Ferry Terminal, Sicily

28 June 1943

From 150 Squadron ORB's

Mission summary:

"On this occasion F/Lt Langlois and F/Sgt Mortimer were detailed to accompany 142 Squadron in an attack on the Messina train ferry terminus. Weather was hazy with small amounts of low stratus cloud both enroute and over the target. Fires were started in the target area. There was slight to moderate heavy flak which was more accurate than usual. Light flak was negligible but 8-10 searchlights coned over the town. Both aircraft returned safely."
