Sgt C R Donoghue (R/AG) (RAF 1722797) 26 aircraft and crews took off at approximately 17.15hrs to attack BOCHUM in the heart of the Ruhr. 2 returned with problems. 9/10 cloud en route, but over the channel this decreased and gradually cleared. The target free from cloud, industrial haze present. Target Markers were punctual and fairly accurate, bombing was well concentrated, whole area a mass of fire, visible for 100 miles plus large explosions. Ground defences moderate, occasionally becoming intense, with many searchlights in evidence exposing one cone of about 20 or more, first ineffective, but later more troublesome, several aircraft being coned. Night fighters very active and fighter flares were seen from the Dutch coast onwards. Many combats in which 550Sqn involved, 'B2' (F/O Whynacht) had 4 encounters, claims 2 jets destroyed and damaged another, whilst the other was inconclusive. No damage or casualties. 'M' (F/O McCarthy) and 'P' (P/O Franklyn (R)) both fired at two jets but no claims. 'V' (F/O Blackler) claims a jet. All aircraft returned to Base except 'F' (F/O Ansell) who landed at Manston after Flak damage, the F/Eng (F/S Sythes) wounded in thigh. Notable that 'F' completed 100th operational sortie. H.G.
