A416693 P/O G.D.Mitchell and crew posted to 467 Sq 18.6.43.

On the 8th op enroute to Turin the crew jettisoned part of the load in an attempt to gain height to clear the alps, but the A/C struck a peak and all crew were KIA. Later research and letters, from a boy who lived in a village near the site at the time, have located the A/C.
