Guy Gibson Hampden incident

Hi all:

Can any of you Bomber Command gen men please put a date on the incident when Guy Gibson brought an 83 Sqn Hampden back to base with cable wrapped round the prop shaft after hitting a barrage balloon cable during a night raid over Germany ? This would presumably have been spring 1940. Any details of date, a/c involved and crew members would be much appreciated.

TIA,

BC
