                         Flensburg (Operation ‘Post Morten’)   Lancaster ME 801 N – Nan2




               This operation was to Flensburg on the North West German coast. No. 1 Group were
                 tasked to fly in formation towards the captured German radar installations, so that
                 allied scientists could observe the radar tracks, and over time, make improvements
                 to the captured German equipment. This exercise would enable allied scientists to
                  include the research by German radar scientists and lay the foundation for future
                                                  radar development.
