The crew did, in fact, bomb on 12 occasions using G-H, 9 of which was as a G-H Leader. The first being February 18th 1945, against Wesel. The clues are in the bomb loads and ORB terminology. Also, in the No.3 Group Bombing Operations Records Book. On a few occasions in his Log Book, Jeff inserts 'Marker' of 'Smoke Puffs' in the comments section. G-H Leader crews only carried these. 'Markers' are Target Indicators, or TI's. 'Smoke Puffs' are Sky Markers ( came in three colours as standard, Red, Blue and Green ). So using the Squadron ORB, the No.3 Group Bombing Records Book and Jeff's Log Book, we can record all the G-H operations with some certainty. February 18th 1945 : Wesel : 1 x Marker ( Jeffs Log Book) February 19th 1945 : Wesel : All aircraft 186 sent was GH equipped. February 25th 1945 : Kamen : 1 x Marker ( Jeffs Log Book) February 27th 1945 : Gelsenkirchen : 'Bombed on Radar Navigation Aid' (ORB) March 2nd 1945 : Cologne : Abandoned Trouble with the Radar Navigation aid' (ORB) March 5th 1945 : Gelsenkirchen : 'Bombed on Radar Navigation Aid' (ORB) March 6th 1945 : Wesel: 'Bombed on Radar Navigational Aid' (ORB) March 9th 1945 : Datteln : Bomb Load included 1 x 250lb Blue Skymarker. (ORB) March 18th 1945: Hattingen : 1 Smoke Puff (Jeff's Log Book) Bomb load included 1 x 250lb Skymarker Red ( ORB). March 21st 1945: Munster : 1 Smoke Puff (Jeff's Log Book).
