Under returflyvningen fra et bombetogt til Stettin 30. august 1944 blev Lancaster LM116 skudt i brand over Jylland. Flyet styrtede ned lige nord for Karup.
Hele besætningen blev dræbt.
I 1949 fandt RAF Missing Research and Enquiry Unit de jordiske rester af besætningen fra LM 116 på nedstyrtningsstedet, hvor tyskerne havde nedgravet den
sammen med rester af flyet. Flyverne blev derpå overført til  KIEL WAR CEMETERY og begravet i en fællesgrav (Collective grave 5. E. 13-19) (FAF).

Nedstyrtningsstedet var her. (E.V.H. Jensen)  Se Lancaster fotos og  Operation 30 AUGUST 1944 - ruter og tab.

Lancaster LM116 was hit and caught fire over Jutland on the return flight from a bombing raid to Stettin 30 August, 1944. The plane crashed just north of Karup.
All of the crew perished.
In 1949 the RAF Missing Research and Enquiry Unit found the earthly remains of the crew of LM 116 at the crash site, where the Germans had dug them down
together with parts of the plane. The airmen were then transferred to KIEL WAR CEMETERY and buried in Collective grave 5. E. 13-19. (FAF)

The crash site was here. (E.V.H. Jensen)
