A similar attack was carried out by the Bostons of 107 Squadron against the works. Jarred by the explosions, the Strijp tower clock stopped at 12:32. It remained stuck there, at 12:32, for the rest of the war. With bombs gone, the Bostons dropped to the deck and followed Pelly-Fry, who was heading north. This had been the plan, but only for a couple of miles. Then they were to turn west for the coast. Strangely, Pelly-Fry continued heading north. The Bostons followed him. Behind the Bostons came the Mosquitos, who were working to avoid overtaking them. Due to arrive on target just after the Bostons, they also climbed to 1,500 feet. As they were climbing to bombing height they were attacked by a group of three Focke-Wulfs. The Mosquito was the one aircraft in the raid that carried no armament. One of the Mosquitos turned away to run, and was chased by the German fighters. Going flat out he was able to avoid taking any damage, while pulling the German fighters away from the slower Bostons. The remaining Mosquitos dropped their bombs on the works, dropped to the deck and looked for a way out.
