Mission to Harburg. Took off from RAF Spilsby at 1826 hrs to bomb oil facilities. Sgt Graham is described as receiving hospital treatment in France, but it is not clear if this was immediate or after cessation of hostilities. The loss card merely describes the crew as "safe", but this could be interpreted as "safe in captivity". WO Dayton enlisted in Rhodesia circa June 1940.
