Mosquito PZ219: Took off at 19:35 hrs for Ranger mission over France. 14/07/1944
W/O Oddie with F/Sgt Milne and F/Lt Thacker with F/O Hall, were on a daylight sortie over France. On crossing the French coast, they experienced severe and accurate anti-aircraft fire as a result of which F/Lt Thacker's aircraft was severely damaged, the port engine being put out of action and the hydraulics affected. W/O Oddie carried out a first class job by going in at a lower level to attract the flak so that F/Lt Thacker could get out. This was a successful manoeuvre and F/Lt Thacker was able to get back to base, but unfortunately the aircraft was written off in a crash landing at 21:15 hrs.
Crew:
F/Lt (85273) David John THACKER AFC (pilot) RAFVR - Ok
