Biddick flew "Muggs" to Trondheim on the first raid. It was this raid that he did an emergency (crash) landing at RAF Fraserburgh.

When flying "Escape kit" the main raid was on Regensburg, but Riddick was tasked with a diversionary raid to Schweinfurt ball-bearing plants. This is the flight he was killed on.

Whilst over the target, the aircraft was kit by enemy fighters causing a fire in the oxygen tank area. The plane crashed with most of the crew bailing out and becoming POWs.

Riddick was found in the wreckage, it was reported Snyder was found several months later hanging in a tree by his parachute. It is believed he hit a part of the plane when baling out. Noting the article states he fell without a parachute.

So it would appear the first landfall on the way back from Trondheim would have been RAF Fraserburgh. The would have landed due to oxygen issues and crashed on landing
