Operation - third 1000 bomber raid, this time the target being Bremen.
The aircraft was shot down by the night fighter crew of Oberleutnant Hoffmann & Oberfeldwebel Köhler of the 5./NJG 3, who had taken off from Schleswig airfield in a Bf 110.
The two gunners bailed out but the remaining crew were trapped in the aircraft. German investigation teams found it impossible to recover them and they remained in the wreckage until an excavation was undertaken by the MRES team. F/Sgt Wright, P/O Phillips and Sgt Payze all rest in Kiel War Cemetery.
