Notes:

Abandoned. During outward journey red light of the starboard outer engine was burning. Ran into flak defence area, decided to go above it. At 14500ft starboard outer engine suddenly failed. After rectifying the trouble decided we had insufficient petrol to get us out of enemy territory so returned to base.
