4 Lancastere fra 433 BS skulle den 12. marts 1945 nedkaste hver 6 x 1850 lbs MK IV miner i Kattegat (omkring her). Kl. 17.46 lettede LAN NG233 fra
Skipton-on-Swale med F/O J. P. Farrell og hans besætning på deres 9. fælles togt. Minerne blev kastet mellem 21.00 og 21.10. På hjemturen blev flyet angrebet
sydvest for Samsø kl. 21.27 og brød i brand. Ud for As Hoved ramte LAN NG233 vandet omkring her og sank på få minutter. En dansk fisker observerede
nedstyrtningen og fik hurtigt sin båd i vandet, men uden resultat.

Den 27. maj drev liget af bombekasteren, F/O A. V. Plante, i land ved As Vig (her ved Pøt Strand. Kilde: Bent Daugaard). Han blev begravet i Horsens 4 dage senere.
De andre besætningsmedlemmer har ingen kendt grav. (Kilde: FT 91-9-48)

Farrell and his crew on their operation number 9 together. The mines were dropped between 2100 hrs and 2110 hrs. The plane
was attacked on the return flight south west of Samsø at 2127 hours and caught fire. LAN NG233 hit the water about here off As Hoved and sank within a few minutes.
A Danish fisherman observed the crash and was quick to get his boat into the water, but to no avail.
