Agree on the date but not much else!

Where on earth did you dig THAT up from?
The guy was brought down after descending to low altitude on the return leg after flying a Master Bomber trip that he was neither trained nor qualified for. At the time he was Base Air Staff Officer at 54 Base and he badgered 5 Group to be allowed to fly the trip after not having been genuinely operational since the Dams Raid. The sortie was not officially authorised as he was not to be exposed to any risk of capture, nor was he a Master Bomber.
The loss has always been controversial, much speculation about the actual reasons being bandied back and forth over the years.
Most reasonable explanation being that, not being current or checked out on the Mosquito, he failed to change fuel tanks, couldn't locate the fuel cocks, engines cut causing the descent , at low level the barometrically fused 250LB marker bombs ignited bringing the aircraft down.
