Wellington Mildenhall takes off around 23:30. On the way to the goal in Germany, he was spotted northwest of Gilly and is attacked by the Me110 of Bietmann, which took off from the base of Sint-Truiden / Sint Truiden. A wing and an engine ignited, the electrical system is destroyed and the apparatus descends uncontrollable spin. William Orndorff draws some bursts towards the German fighter but does not reach it. It oozes with difficulty from his turret and jumps just 500m from the ground. It will be the only survivor of the 5 members of the crew.
