Kærholms Gård drop zone
The parachutes open and slowly descend onto the drop zone where the reception team is waiting.
Intro

The plane had consignments for two drop zones in Vensyssel - a total of 24 containers. But when the plane circled over drop zone 93 Klästrupholm, there was no reception team in place. The plane then proceeded to drop zone 42, Kærholms Gård, but there was no reception team there either. The aircraft then headed back to England. On the return journey, it was attacked by a German night hunter, but reached home safely.
