Mission History
At approximately 0850 hours while carrying out a mast high bombing attack on enemy ships south of Ceram, the aircraft was shot down by anti-aircraft fire.

The aircraft attacked at just above sea level, pulled up over the ship, went into a slow right roll and then crashed into the sea bursting into flames. At the beginning of the roll about a third of the left wing was seen to fly off and an explosion occur inside the aircraft.

Both of the RAAF personnel are listed on the Ambon Memorial as having "No Known Grave".
