Narrative:
Battle R7411: Destroyed after the crew abandoned the aircraft after engine failure, near Yokefleet. 30/10/1940
"Less lucky was the crew of 307 Squadron Fairey Battle R7411, on their way back from Digby to Kirton-in-Lindsay at night. After about ten minutes flying from the base the cooling system failed. Glycol was pouring into the cockpit, and both airmen decided to abandon the aircraft. P/O K Kazimierczuk, and Sgt M Adamiechki bailed out at low altitude and in misty conditions, landing so heavily that both of them broke their legs".
Crew:
P/O (P.1057) Kazimierz KAZIMIERCZUK (pol. pilot) PAF - injured
Sgt (P.780425) Adamiecki Mieczysław ADAMIECKI (pol. pilot) PAF - injured
