A relatively small force (for the day) of 222 aircraft targeted the city of Stuttgart on 22/23 November 1942. Lancaster I W4360 of 57 Squadron took off from RAF Scampton at 1839 hours. However, it was intercepted and shot down on its way home by a German nighfighter flown by Oberltnt Ludwig Meister of I/NJG4.
The aircraft crashed at 2348 between Maleves and Tourinnes-St-Lambert, Brabant, Belgium. All crew members died and are buried at the cemetery of Heverlee.
