He flew with a Vickers Wellington (type III, serial BK385, code QT-N).
Milan
71 aircraft of 1 and 3 Groups and the Pathfinders - 25 Halifaxes, 23 Stirlings, 23 Wellingtons - continued the attack on Milan. 4 Wellingtons and 2 Stirlings were lost, 8.5 per cent of the force.
Storms en route dispersed the bomber force; some aircraft flew over Switzerland and were 'warned' by anti-aircraft fire. Only 39 aircraft claimed to have bombed Milan and local reports say that little further damage was caused there.
Minor Operations: 25 Wellingtons of 1 Group minelaying in several areas between La Pallice and Denmark, 11 OTU sorties. 2 Wellington minelayers lost.
12 Bostons were again dispatched to Le Havre to attack the large merchant ship there but had to turn back because of lack of cloud cover. 3 Mosquitos to Germany also turned back. There were no aircraft losses.
