Also Wellington Mk III X3724 KO-T was lost on the same mission.

170 aircraft of all standard types were dispatched on the first large raid to Bremen since October 1941.
Crews reported only indifferent bombing results but Bremen recorded this as a heavy attack, the results of which exceeded all previous raids. Housing areas were heavily hit with 6 streets affected by serious fires. Damage to the U-boat construction yards and the Focke-Wulf factory is described as 'of no importance' but there were hits in the harbour area which damaged a pier, some warehouses and the destroyer Z-25. With 83 people dead, 29 seriously and 229 slightly injured, this would turn out to be Bremen's third heaviest casualty toll in the war.

11 aircraft - 4 Wellingtons, 2 Halifaxes, 2 Lancasters, 2 Stirlings, 1 Manchester - lost.
