On the night of 11/12 September 1944, 226 Lancasters and 14 Mosquitos of No 5 Group were sent on an operation to the German city of Darmstadt. 12 Lancasters were lost, or 5.3 per cent of the force.
LM209 was airborne 2045 on 11 Sep 44 and crashed 0030 12 Sep 44 into a dense wood, about 1 km SW of Darmstadt Airfield. The wreckage lay undiscovered until 10 May 47, when the authorities examined a large crater and recovered the remains of the crew. All were initially taken for burial to Neckargemund. They have been subsequently re-interred in Durnbach War Cemetery.
The other aircrew were: S/L R.A.Squibbs, Sgt A.Furnival; F/S J.Singer; F/O J.F.Parry; Sgt J.Davison; Sgt D.Greenley.
