Otherwise known as the Amiens prison raid. Seventy years ago Grp Capt Pickard led a force of 19 Mosquitos against the prison to release important members of the French Resistance held captive there.The raid was a success, and led to the unfortunate loss of 2 aircraft, including that of Pickard and his navigator, Alan Broadley.
