On the 26th of February 1941 the crew of this aircraft had set out from Dishforth in Yorkshire at 18.45hrs to bomb Koln. On their return they became hopelessly lost, overshot England and at 04.45hrs struck the top of Sgurr nan Ceannaichean on the south side of Glen Carron, in Wester Ross, Scotland. The aircraft broke up over the northern slopes of the mountain killing all on board.
