The bomber began to lose height, slowly at first, but then went out of control and blew up before hitting the ground at the village of Leulinghem, 7km South-West of St Omer in the Pas de Calais — still carrying their bomb load.KilledLonguenesse (St. Omer) Souvenir Cemetery Plot 3. Row C. Grave 4.
They began their bombing run at just before 17:00, on a straight and level approach the aircraft was hit by flak, and Bill King was killed instantly. The port inner engine burst into flames and the pilot called for the crew to bail out. Two of the crew, the Navigator and the Bomb-aimer managed to bale out and became PoWs. Bill King's body was flung from the aircraft as it crashed in flames near the French village of Leulingham. The wireless operator was pulled from the wreckage with broken limbs as was one of the air gunners (Johnstone) but he died in hospital in St Omer a few hours later. The pilot and two other gunners both died in the crash. The Germans moved in quickly to secure the prisoners and remove the bodies, except Bill King whose body was not discovered until a few weeks later lying in a cornfield. later the three bodies were dumped at Leulingham church, where a local resistance worker arranged a funeral.

Fg Off King was awarded the DFC whilst with 57 Squadron. Gazetted 22nd October 1943. DFC Citation “As Flight Engineer Pilot Officer King has completed many sorties and displayed skill and keenness of a high order. On one occasion, at an early stage of a daylight sortie on Le Creusot, Pilot officer King was badly injured in the face by flying splinters when the windscreen of his a/c shattered. Although in considerable pain and unable to see, this gallant flight engineer refused to allow other members of the crew to leave their stations and come to his aid. During the remainder of the flight he showed great fortitude and constantly attempted to render assistance. His courageous example proved most inspiring. Upon recovery, Pilot Officer King resumed operations and has executed his duty with rare zeal".

Son of William and Emily Maria King of Enstone, Oxfordshire
