25/26 November
KIEL
Four aircraft set out from around 17.00 hours to bomb shipyards at Kiel on a largely unsuccessful mission. X3125 took off at 17.20 hours. Two aircraft, X3125 and X2919 bombed the approximate area of the target, due to patchy cloud; the remaining two returned to base shortly after take off, both with W/T failure.
Unfortunately Hampden X3125 crash landed at Saltfleet, near North Coates due to fuel exhaustion (after nearly 8 hours airborne) at 03.15 hours on 26th November while returning from a mission to KIEL. All aboard were slightly injured and were the same crew that crashed in Hampden X3022 on the 17th November:
Sgt. Crum,
Sgt.Adams,
Sgt. McAlwane and
Sgt. Barley.
Sgt. Crum was later awarded the DFM, gazetted on March 7 1941
