 		 An engine fire crossing the coast, the pilot decided to continue the mission. After jettisoning bombs, he tries to Corsica, but seeing that the camera does not take until then turned around.
The crew evacuated, except for the pilot mooring controls of the aircraft, so it does not fall on homes, before jumping in turn. It arises in the hamlet Le Besset near Saint-Julien Molhesabate.L crew is free, except Sgt Dandrew whose parachute set torch.
It crashed near the hamlet of La Celle, commune of St Julien Vocance (07)
