Åbenterp drop zone
The parachutes open and slowly descend onto the drop zone where the reception team is waiting.
Intro
The B-24 plane arrived too early, so no one was at the drop zone. The plane circled over the drop zone three times, and as it did not receive any light signal it returned to England without making an airdrop. On the return journey, the plane was shot at by flak at Løkken.
