The team at the drop zone received 2 x 12 Fox-containers and a package of guns and a “Eureka” (radio beacon). The English had only reported an airdrop of 12 Fox-containers and a package of “spigot guns” (anti-tank weapons) and a package of pistols. The team probably received the consignment which was meant for airdrop 208 Toholt Skov (Winston), as they never received anything. The shipment was then sent on to Viborg.
