Hello

I make some researches about a mission of SOE. On february the 8th 1944, the Halifax LL144 (NF-P from 138 sqn) took off from Tempsford for a parachuting mission (arms, material and ... 2 bikes) in France. The pilot was F/O Gerald Dennis Carroll. The mission name seems be « John 35 ». This Halifax crashed in the Alps, at Autrans. The plane was discovered by French resistance of this area, but they were waitting no RAF’s operation. So, I search the final destination of this SOE mission. is there somebody have an idea how can I have information about that ?


Thank you


Fabrice
