This is a dramatic night scene of a strayed RAF 50 Squadron Lancaster bomber brought down by a JU88 night fighter in bright moonlight conditions at Nogen-sur-Seine, Aube, France on 4th May 1944. Only the pilot, Flt Lt Thomas Blackham who was wearing a 'seat type' parachute survived. The aircraft was vulnerable for lack of firepower protection and damage causing loss of speed and altitude.
