The early ones - from the middle of June 1944 - certainly did not. However, like most weapons systems, the V1 was enhanced over the following months.

This is a website which appears to be that of a local (Lancashire) historian which mentions the Ossy V1. Possibly because it appears to have carried leaflets and not a warhead, may be the reason for its longer range in reaching Ossy.
