The plane flew over the drop zone, circled a few times and airdropped 7 containers and one package. The containers were emptied and "drowned" in the sea along with the parachutes. One of the containers was found to contain English propaganda material, which was immediately "drowned" with all the content.

The plane airdropped approx. 6 Tiger-containers. The reception went well, the containers were emptied and the material loaded onto the lorry. The successful reception was celebrated by having sandwiches and beer in a villa on Hunderupvej, whilst the vehicle with the airdropped materials was parked outside on the street!
