"MYD 431
'M'
Ditched 08:00.
P/O Miller reached the target which he bombed from 10,000 ft, but did not observe any results accurately.
He encountered heavy and accurate AA fire over Dunkirk but very little over Italy.
His wireless was put out of action, by electrical storms on the outward journey, and he landed finally in the sea, off the East coast, and he and his crew were picked up by a steamer, and brought ashore.
The reason he landed in the sea was because he had lost direction on the return flight, and ran short of petrol."
