OK, I was concentrating on the pictures of the planes taking off. Definitely different from the Mosquitos which took part in the raid. Wonder why they cut in the pictures of the planes with the twin vertical stabilizers with the planes that actually took part. And the closeups of the ‘returning planes’ weren’t Mosquitos. No dorsal gunners on the 2 seater Mosquito. Disinformation?

I believe lockheed hudsons also took part in the raid. Maybe vega venturas as well. That would explain the dorsal turrest and the twin tails.

The Camera planes and most of the returning planes were RAF Douglas A-20’s. They have dihedral Horizontal Stabilizers so they are easily identifiable.
