The airplane departed RAF Abingdon to bomb the Fiat Aero Engine plant in Torino, Italy. Badly shot up by a fighter attack over the target which left one engine out of action and severe damage to the starboard aileron. The captain succeeded in flying the crippled bomber across France but while trying to land on the beach near Dymchurch Redoubt on the Kent coast, the weakened aileron broke off and the aircraft plunged into the sea. Three crew managed to escape and the two pilots were killed.
