Took off from East Moor at 23:00 in Halifax Mark II (Sqn code: NP-B Bomber Command).

After bombing, the Hali flew into the barrage balloon defenses. Height was lost and shortly afterwards a German fighter attacked, inflicting damage of such severity that the crew were forced down off the German coast, where the Halifax broke into two sections.
