26 August 1944
A Marauder was claimed shot down by the anti-aircraft weapons of the coastal batteries together with Luftwaffe anti-aircraft fire, crashing six nautical miles west of Jersey. An enemy destroyer approaching the crash site was engaged by Battery 54./1265, Jersey, and withdrew southwards. A third attempted supply voyage from Jersey to Cezembre was abandoned near the Minquiers after enemy air reconnaissance discovered the boats. [T-1022/2175, scan 0232]
