On reaching the target area the crew were unable to see Tirpitz due to the smoke and haze. However, they estimated the position of the ship using other features in the fjord which could be clearly seen. The bomb was seen to burst shorewards from the estimated position of the ship.

The aircraft and crew returned safely to RAF Tain landing at 0418 hrs on 28th April 1942.

The weather was reported as having been similar to the previous nights operation to the same target with good, almost perfect visibility which allowed the crew to map read easily to the position of the target. The target was obscured by a smoke screen and the crew were unable to positively identify the target, Tirpitz, but bombed in the estimated position. Bursts were observed. Light flak concentrations, searchlights and aerodromes were also attacked with good results after primary target had been bombed.

The aircraft and crew returned safely to RAF Tain landing at 0450 hrs on 29th April 1942.
