Operation Manna consisted of dropping food without a parachute for example sacks of flour, tins of spam, in sacks of straw to starving Dutch people. The Germans agreed to let them do it as long as the Lancasters didn't have guns or didn't take photographs.

Afterwards we flew through the streets in the Hague throwing out sweets and chocolates from the rear turret to the kidds in the street giving the Germans the V signs.
