The plane airdropped 12 Lion-containers and a package of guns and a Eureka (radio beacon). It was reported that immediately after the airdrop, the plane flew off hastily and disappeared. It materialised that a parachute had failed to open on one of the containers, so it fell very heavily and struck some stones. The impact triggered some sparks, which the pilot had thought was machine gunfire. The goods were quickly collected and hidden. The shipment was later sent to Aarhus.
