12 Wellingtons attacked the Station. Incendiaries were seen to burst in and around the station and marshalling yards, with 12 explosions alongside a train. 3 large explosions caused red fires which in turn caused green explosions. 3 fires on the S.W. edge of the target were seen for 20 minutes by circling aircraft.

7058 THE LONDON GAZETTE, 17 DECEMBER, 1940

644695, Sergeant Desmond Hubert Howard Cleverley, No. 115 Squadron.
In November, 1940, Sergeant Morson was the captain and Sergeant Gleverley the wireless operator of an aircraft which successfully attacked a target in the vicinity of Berlin.
On the return journey, intense anti-aircraft fire was encountered over Hamburg which caused damage to the aircraft and set the starboard engine on fire.
In spite of this, Sergeant Morson set a direct course for base, which necessitated flying across the Heligoland Bight and, although many difficulties were overcome, he was unable to maintain height and was finally forced down into the sea.
With great skill and devotion to duty Sergeant Cleverley maintained full wireless communication, keeping his base constantly informed of the position.
He was undoubtedly responsible for the successful rescue action, which was subsequently taken.
Sergeant Morson has completed 13 and Sergeant Cleverley 23 successful operational flights and both have displayed great skill, courage and determination.
