Practice nite mission

Still don’t know what’s going to happen about the crew.  Rode nose turret.  Flew at 19,000 [feet], pretty cold 25 below.  Had to get out of turret, low on oxygen.  Got caught in spot lights.  Impossible to get out of them.  Blinding as the devil.  G-box jammed by jerries.  Made the flight by dead reckoning.  Got back to base to land and told we couldn’t, enemy aircraft in area.  Eventually got down a couple hours late.
