Essen raid - post June 1943

Can anyone help with information on a Wellington bomber attacked by an Me 110 during a raid on Essen (cannot give exact date as this is unclear) some time after June 1943. Squadron not known, however, two of the crew were air gunner John Arbutt (wounded in legs) and co-pilot Tom 'Sandy' Sands. Front gunner (un-named) fired on and may have hit the 110.

Possible dates for Essen raid:

25/26 July 43

Wellington coded G- George.

Who, when, which sqn?
