Related existing record: 12 January 1943 Part 6 — 12 January 1943 Operations daily report. This separate source account concerns material already represented in that record; it does not by itself establish an additional incident.

At about midday, a four-engined Stirling was over the island area. It probably dropped mines near St Helier harbour.

Editorial note: The evening report on PDF page 795 gives the time as 11.30 hours.
