| Description |
English: Royal Air Force Coastal Command, 1939-1945. Damaged Bristol Beaufighter TF Mark X, NE831 'PL-O', of No. 144 Squadron RAF, at rest after crash-landing at Dallachy, Morayshire, on returning from the costly attack on the German destroyer Z-33 and its escorting vessels in Fordefjord, Norway, on 9 February 1945. 31 Beaufighters of the Dallachy Strike Wing were involved in the operation, of which 9 were shot down by German fighters and anti-aircraft defences. Flight Sergeant S Butler (pilot) and Flight Sergeant Nicholls (navigator) in NE831 were the last to attack the vessels, during which they were hit by flak from Z-33, and then by fire from a Focke Wulf Fw 190. After manoeuvring violently, Butler managed to escape over the North Sea to make a successful wheels-up landing at Dallachy. |

Licensing
This image is in the public domain because it is a mere mechanical scan or photocopy of a public domain original, or – from the available evidence – is so similar to such a scan or photocopy that no copyright protection can be expected to arise. The original itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
This tag is designed for use where there may be a need to assert that any enhancements (eg brightness, contrast, colour-matching, sharpening) are in themselves insufficiently creative to generate a new copyright. It can be used where it is unknown whether any enhancements have been made, as well as when the enhancements are clear but insufficient. For known raw unenhanced scans you can use an appropriate {{PD-old}} tag instead. For usage, see Commons:When to use the PD-scan tag.  |
