From Warboys airfield, ND357 departed on 14 January 1944 at 16:45 towards Braunschweig, Germany. After the bombing, the aircraft was shot down on the return flight by the Messerschmitt Bf 110G of Oberleutnant Dietrich Schmidt, who was operating from Leeuwarden. From the east, the burning bomber flew low over Kolhorn, between the church and the then primary school. The Lancaster crashed at 20:35 in the ditch, almost against the dike.

The bomber had a very experienced crew on board. Five crew members had one or more awards and six had completed more than thirty missions. Mansfield and Alexander even more than fifty missions. The entire crew was killed and lies at the Commonwealth War Graves Cemetery near Bergen op Zoom. Five are buried together in one grave.
