There is some confusion over what operations were carried out on this night. Bomber Command's Operations Record Book says that no operations were carried out because of unfavourable weather conditions but other records indicated that 6 Blenheims and 3 Wellingtons attacked various targets on the French and Dutch coasts. There were no losses.
