Originally 8 491 853 (T8 -O) but flew no missions with that group. Declared war weary after losing two engines on the bomb run 12 Aug 44 mission to Mourmelon-le-Grand, France, and landing at Beccles, Suffolk, where it was repaired. Flew no more combat missions and was eventually salvaged by BAD 3, Langford Lodge, Northern Ireland.
