The Lancaster was probably shot down by Fw Richard Richter 8NJG 2 and crashed close to the target area near Lengsdorf, 2 km SW of Bonn, Germany
Pilot Officer CM Buell (RCAF), Pilot Officer JB McGregor (RCAF), Pilot Officer BV Cobbett (RCAF), Pilot Officer CR Bradley (RCAF), Flight Lieutenant WK Parke (RCAF), Sergeant WG Classen (RAFVR), Flying Officer K Gibbs DFC (RAFVR) and Sergeant D King (RAFVR) were all killed in action
Sergeant King was the Special Duties Operator for the ABC equipment. Airborne Cigar (ABC) was a transmitter aboard aircraft developed by A&AEE (Aeroplane & Armament Experimental Establishment), which jammed German fighter control frequencies, making it more difficult to vector night fighters to the area where the bombers were flying
