Data derived from many sources. Corrections/Additions welcomed via Helpdesk

NOTE ON DATES: IMPORTANT: For consistency, the Date is given as the date the mission TOOK OFF since the precise time of a loss is not always certain. Take Off date is unambigous and fixed in the official records, but obviously in those cases where the incident occurred before midnight UK time, then the Take Off Date will be the same as the Incident Date. Of course, most Bomber Command missions flew through midnight, therefore a Luftwaffe claim against a plane - or a locally generated crash report - may record the incident as occurring on the day following our Take Off Date. Bear this in mind when cross-referencing to our Luftwaffe Victories by Name/Date Database and other Luftwaffe sources. In some cases other sources may quote the date following our date, using locally generated reports as their source. To add to the potential for confusion, remember to take into account a Luftwaffe recorded date will be in local time, 1 hour ahead of UK time. When we discover a validated Incident Date we change our record if necessary

Statement by Fg Off. Light DFM. They had just left the target when a loud explosion was heard and it was presumed that the aircraft had been hit by flak. The Pilot called us the crew on the intercom receiving acknowledgment from all members except Sergeant Bates. Two inboard motors were on fire and the Pilot attempted to extinguish the fire without success. He then instructed the crew to bale out receiving acknowledgement from the navigator and the bomb aimer before the intercom became unserviceable. The Pilot held the aircraft for approximately three minutes when he himself abandoned at a height of 3,000 feet. The aircraft was losing height but was still under control up to the time he left. He saw no members of the crew after he landed and heard no news of their fate from any source.	KiA	Clichy Northern cemetery Plot 16, Row 15, Coll.
