Records show that the above aircraft took off from Dunholme Lodge at 2045 on the evening of the 11th September to attack Darmstadt, part of a force of 226 Lancasters and 14 Mosquitors of which 12 Lancasters (5.3%) were lost. [Bomber Command War Diaries] Crashed 0030 into a wood, about 1km SW of Darmstadt airfield and between the town of Griesheim and the western side of Darmstadt. The wreckage lay undiscovered until 10 May 1947, when the authorities examined a large crater and recovered the remains of the crew. All were initially interred at Neckargemund, later re-interred in Durnbach War Cemetery. Page 415, Volume 5 Bomber Command Losses.
