Narrative:
Takeoff at 23:19 hrs for a bombing operation against the synthetic oil plant at Sterkrade/Holten in Germany.
Coincidentally, time of takeoff was exactly the moment the first Luftwaffe night fighter took to the air.

The aircraft was crippled by Flak in the target area and abandoned by its crew on its return flight. All crew captured and taken prisoner of war:

Fg Off G H Packham (POW)
Sgt C C Pettit (POW)
Sgt J Mathews (POW)
Sgt J S Jenkins (POW)
Sgt F A Willson (POW)
Sgt J Jackson (POW)
Sgt E J Morgan (POW)

Note: Usually, apart from the identity of the aircraft and its crew, nothing has been appended on the loss card apart from the fact that all survived as Prisoners of War.
