Mosquito MM448: Took off at 01:45 hrs for Night Ranger mission. 10/05/1944
A Night Ranger was carried out by F/O Turner with F/O Partridge, but in an attack on an enemy airfield they were badly shot up by the ground forces. They returned in the general direction of base, but had to be assisted in making a safe return by S/Ldr Harrison with F/O Horrex who went up to intercept them and guide them back to base to make a safe landing. The instrument panel had been damaged by the flak, and this made control difficult. The interception was made over the Irish Sea. Landing Ok at 04:20 hrs.
Crew:
F/O (Aus.410757) Harry TURNER (pilot) RAAF - Ok
