A 138 Squadron Stirling aircraft was seen over the site at 23:30. The cargo of 12 Tiger-containers was dropped from a height of 170 metres. A container was damaged in the fall because the parachute had not opened. The shipment was unpacked at the lime works, and the empty containers were lowered into the lime pit. The consignment was sent later to Region III (Southern Jutland).
