The aircraft airdropped 24 Fox-containers and 3 packages. They fell scattered, and most of them outside of the drop zone onto a ploughed field. Everything was salvaged and driven to the depot. Later, the Germans seized the whole consignment - they had arrested a member of the team and after torturing him, he revealed the location of the depot.
