On 1944-12-02, Squadron Leader A. Ross Dawson, the Chief Technical Officer with 424/433 Sqns at Skipton on Swale, wrote in his diary:
"Got 12 off in each squadron today with 5 tons of HE's on board each kite & bound for the town of Hagen (railway centre) east of Essen. We had two early returns due to bad icing weather . . We also lost one kite "C" Charlie of 433, Flight Lieutenant Cook and crew."
