"Royal Air Force Coastal Command, 1939-1945." Damaged Bristol Beaufighter TF Mark X, NE831 'PL-O', of No. 144 Squadron RAF, at rest after crash-landing at Dallachy, Morayshire, on returning from the costly attack on the German destroyer Z-33 and its escorting vessels in Fordefjord, Norway, on 9 February 1945. 31 Beaufighters of the Dallachy Strike Wing were involved in the operation, of which 9 were shot down by German fighters and anti-aircraft defences. Flight Sergeant S Butler (pilot) and Flight Sergeant Nicholls (navigator) in NE831 were the last to attack the vessels, during which they were hit by flak from Z-33, and then by fire from a Focke Wulf Fw 190. After manoeuvring violently, Butler managed to escape over the North Sea to make a successful wheels-up landing at Dallachy.
