The aircraft was later seen circling over Brittany by the villagers of Roscoff, 3km north of St Pol, with one or more engines on fire. Moments later the Liberator crashed in the sea near the Ile de Batz, a few kilometres north of the village. Only 2 of the crew of 10 survived. Two of the bodies were later recovered. Six are commemorated on the Runnymede Memorial.
