Den 17. maj 1944 blev F/O Germain fra MUS FX995 begravet, og samme dag blev Aalborg flyveplads (Aalborg West, Rødslet, fotos her, nu Aalborg Lufthavn) her igen angrebet af 8 Mustangs. Formationen var lettet fra RAF Coltishall kl. 09.05 og havde tilbagelagt den 1300 km lange tur mellem Coltishall her og Aalborg her på ca. 2 timer og 20 minutter. Vejret over Aalborg var fint, og adskillige tyske fly var i luften på træningsopgaver. Tyskerne blev totalt overrumplede, da de 8 Mustangs pludselig angreb. 4 Mustangs kastede sig syd for Aalborg over 2 formationer Ju88. De 3 skød 4 Ju88 ned. Under angrebet kom F/Lt Richard Barrett i MUS FX993 væk fra de 3 øvrige, men øst for Aalborg lykkedes det ham at nedskyde en HE177. I mellemtiden var flere FW190 lettet fra Rørdal flyveplads (Aalborg Ost, her, se mere her og fotos her) og en af dem kastede sig over Barretts Mustang. Efter en kort kamp i lav højde styrtede Barrett brændende i Limfjorden omkring her og omkom. Han blev begravet på Frederikshavn Kirkegård den 20. eller 24. maj 1944. (Kilde: FT 89-71-34)

De 4 andre Mustangs nedskød eller beskadigede flere andre tyske fly. F/Sgt Rowland Williams i  MUS FZ110 beskadigede en Ju W 34 øst for Rødslet og nedskød en anden Ju W 34 for til sidst at nedskyde en Ju88 ved Stagsted. Under det sidste angreb var Williams´ fly blevet beskadiget, og han måtte foretage en nødlanding her. Efter en begivenhedsrig flugt gennem Nordjylland kom han til Sverige. Den 1. juli fløj han fra Stockholm til England i en Mosquito, og efter en orlov, hvor han blev dekoreret med DFM, genindtrådte han i 65 Squadron, der i mellemtiden var blevet overflyttet til Frankrig.

F/O Germain from MUS FX995 was buried on 17 May 1944, and the very same day Aalborg Air Station (Aalborg West, Rødslet, photos here, now Aalborg Airport) here was again attacked by 8 Mustangs. The formation took off from RAF Coltishall at 09:05 and had flown the 1300 km tour between Coltishall here and Aalborg here in about  2 hours and 20 minutes. The weather over Aalborg was fine, and quite a few German planes were in the air on training missions. The Germans were totally taken by surprise, when the eight Mustangs suddenly attacked. South of Aalborg 4 Mustangs threw themselves on 2 formations of Ju88. They shot down 4 Ju88. During the attack F/Lt Richard Barrett in MUS FX993 lost contact with the 3 others, but east of Aalborg he succeeded in shooting down a HE177. In the meantime more FW190s had taken off from Rørdal Air Station (Aalborg Ost, here, more here and photos here) and one of them targeted Barrett´s Mustang. After a short fight at a low altitude Barrett crashed, burning, into the Limfjorden about here and perished. He was buried in Frederikshavn Cemetery on 20 or 24 May 1944. (Source: FT 89-71-34)

The 4 other Mustangs shot down or damaged several other German planes. F/Sgt Rowland Williams in  MUS FZ110 damaged a Ju W 34 east of Rødslet and shot down another Ju W 34 to end with the shooting down of a Ju88 at Stagsted. Williams´ plane was damaged during the last attack, and he had to make a forced landing here. He came to Sweden after an eventful evasion through North Jutland. On 1 July he flew from Stockholm to England in a Mosquito, and after a leave where he was awarded the DFM, he again joined the 65 Squadron, which in the meantime had been transferred to France.
