Narrative:During the night of 20-21 November 1944.
Operations that night were raids by 63 Mosquitos to Hannover, 14 each to Homberg and Castrop-Rauxel oil plants and 9 to Eisenach, 17 RCM sorties, and 17 Mosquito patrols. There was no loss over Europe, but three Mosquitos of the Hannover force were wrecked in accidents in England, albeit without casualty.
Mosquito KB460: Took off at 21:11 hrs for a Night raid over Hannover. 20/11/1944
On the way to the target they experienced severe problems with the port engine and had to jettison the bomb load and turn back. They crash-landed at 23:52 hrs at RAF Woodbridge (probably the first airfield after they crossed the English coast). The Mosquito was damaged beyond repair.
