Re: Mosquito HK508 - 19 april 1945
This incident is described in my book Ghostbombers: The Moonlight War of NSG 9 (Classic Publications, 2001).
Go to http://www.ghostbombers.com/NSG9/nsg9frame.html and click on "Chapter 14." As you say, the Mosquito was from 256 Squadron: the pilot, Squadron Leader Smith, was killed; the navigator, Flying Officer Wilmer suffered only minor injuries and was taken prisoner.
