6 Wellingtons to Emden but only 1 aircraft dropped bombs, which hit fields. No losses.

2 Mosquitos of 105 Squadron set out to Flushing to attack a damaged merchant ship (see 7 and 9 November) but did not return. It is believed, however, that they did hit the ship again. 2 more Mosquitos and 6 Bostons then took off to carry out a sea search for the crews of the 2 lost Mosquitos. These were not found and 1 of the Bostons was then lost.
