From Steve Smith's excellent 218 Squadron Association Official website I've pullled this info together for you:

Steve is the 218 Squadron Association Historian and a regular poster on this forum so he may be able to supply some more information.

From MJF Bowyer's book the Stirling Story the aircraft was on a mission to Hamburg and was shot down at Ahrensolde.
