Typhoon MN803 took off, with others, from Advanced Landing Ground B.6 at Coulombs at 12:15hrs to attack shipping on the River Seine between Le Havre and Rouen.
Flak was encountered at Caudebec-en-Caux and one of the Typhoons was hit. The pilot called up on his R/T to say that he was going to bale out. However, no parachute was seen and the pilot seems to still have been in the aircraft when it crashed at Auzebosc, and he was killed.
