The crew of De Havilland Mosquito Mark II, DZ757 'RA-Q', of [[:en:No. 410 Squadron RCAF|No. 410 Squadron RCAF]], Flight Lieutenant M A Cybulski RCAF (pilot, left) and Flying Officer H H Ladbrook (navigator), stand by their fire-damaged aircraft at [[:en:RAF Coleby Grange|Coleby Grange]], Lincolnshire, after destroying a Dornier Do 217 east of the Zuider Zee on the night of 27 September 1943. Burning petrol and oil from the exploding German aircraft temporarily blinded Cybulski and engulfed the Mosquito, sending it into a steep dive from which Ladbrook managed to recover it after losing some 4,000 feet. Although the dive extinguished the flames, the port engine stopped and the aircraft became extremely difficult to control because of the damage to the rudder. The crew, nevertheless managed to steer DZ757 back on one engine over 200 miles to Coleby Grange, for which both were awarded the DFC}}
