This aircraft was shot down on the August 16th raid to Feltham.
Flight Lieutenant Boyd of No. 602 Squadron put between 300 and 400 bullets holes in the bomber before it crashed at High Salvington, Sussex.
An innocent victim of the war !

Thanks again for the shots Rodolphe, you're a mine of information.
From the story in the pictures, shooting down a bomber with .303s called for real accuracy (or very good luck). No great chunks flying off or huge holes appearing. Absolutely essential to get those rounds into some essential pipeline, cable or component.
This is where SoW is going to shine. With all those essential components modelled with their accurate hit boxes, this is going to test the accuracy of the best of us.
Brilliant stuff.
