240218 Flt.Lt. Thomas Alfred Penn Royal New Zealand Air Force 487 Squadron from:Christchurch, New Zealand Despite records to the contrary, of the twelve aircraft of 487 Squadron dispatched on Ramrod 16, two made it to the target, not one. Trent reported he was the only aircraft to reach the target. Not so. This has been well documented in recent years. When A Apple arrived at the power station and attempted to release its bombs, it was discovered the belly of the plane and its load were missing. Due to severe damage to the plane, it was forced to ditch in the channel where the survivors including my father Thomas Penn, were picked up by a Dutch fishing boat. All were held prisoners of war until the end of hostilities. 3rd May 1943 was a disaster for the Royal Air Force.
