"Tre Liberators (B 24) patruljerede denne nat. 30 km nordøst for Skagen angreb den ene Liberator en tysk konvoj. Et skib blev muligvis ramt, men flyet kunne ikke foretage flere angreb, da beskydningen fra eskortefartøjerne var for intens. KK259 forsøgte muligvis også at angribe den samme konvoj. Kl. 04.25 meldte piloten F/Lt B.L. Howell kort,
at hans fly var beskadiget. Derefter ophørte al kontakt med flyet.
