Mosquito PZ218: Took off at 17:55 hrs for Day Ranger mission. 22/07/1944
A "twosome" comprising W/Cdr Goodman with F/O Pleasley and S/Ldr Harrison with F/O Horrex, set out on a Day Ranger against railway targets. Trains were shot up, and on the final attack, S/Ldr Harrison's aircraft was severely hit by AA fire. He called up W/Cdr Goodman on the R/T to say that "he was having to make a crash landing". He landed at Le Moulin des Fougéres but both he and F/O Horrex were injured in the crash and captured by German Troops. They were put on an ambulance train for Germany, but the train was continually shot up by his Squadron colleagues and they never did get to Germany, but eventually were released by advancing Allied troops.
