Pedersker Kirkegård to dage senere. W/Cdr "ED" Porter og 3 andre besætningsmedlemmer ligger begravet på den gamle garnisonskirkegård i Poznan i Polen,
mens 3 andre besætningsmedlemmer aldrig er fundet. Operationen medførte lukning af kanalen i flere uger, og Porters dygtige ledelse af mineringen medførte en
post mortem tildeling af en Bar til hans allerede i live tildelte Distinguished Flying Cross." (FT 87-94-8) 8 flyvere.

the Distinguished Flying Cross he had been awarded earlier."(FT 87-94-8)
