Takeoff at 21:10 hrs local time for an operation to Frankfurt am Main in Germany.
Outward-bound, the aircraft was shot down by night fighter pilot Major Kurt Holler of the Stab III./NJG 4, who was flying a Bf 110 from Juvincourt airfield in France; crashed between Thynes and Sovet. It took a while before the Germans could reach the wreck, due to the extreme heat that the fire brought with it.
