From the draft RAF Coatal Command Losses, Vol 2 25/09/43 254 Sqn Beaufighter X JL957 A Op: Strike, RAF North Coates, Time Up 10:54 hrs W/C C S Cooper DFC P/O J M Kirkup Took off for a wing strike in company with aircraft of the squadron, 12 aircraft of No.236 Sqn and a fighter escort from Coltishall. Sighted an enemy convoy of between 14 to 18 ships in position 52 55N 04 35E. A/254 dropped its torpedo then was seen to crash into the North Sea west of Den Helder, Netherlands, with the port engine on fire after being hit by flak.
