A leading member of the illegal command centre on Funen was arrested and because he knew the location of the drop zone, no one dared to go through with the retrieval. One man was sent to the drop zone to “send the plane away”, after which the aircraft just flew over the drop zone without throwing out any containers.

The plane flew over the drop zone three times without making an airdrop, even though both light and morse signals had been sent from the drop zone.

The plane airdropped 15 Lion-containers and 2 packs of hand grenades and ammunition. It is likely the plane was shot down on its way back to England.
