The first hit towards the rear of the bomb bay and the second hit the fuselage near the wing root. The resulting damage was severe; the rudder control was sheared off, there was no oxygen supply or electrics from the rest position backwards, all the a/c aerials were missing and some of the electronics were destroyed. The a/c stayed in the air, the remainder of the bomb load was jettisoned although a number of remaining incendiaries caught fire in the bomb bay and filled the cockpit with smoke. This fire was later put out and the pilot made for home using only aileron controls to steer the a/c. The engines had not been damaged and there was no problem to the speed or height being lost. As the a/c reached the British coastline the intercom between the pilot and the wireless operator failed and soon after crossing the coast with the pilot beginning to loose control and out of fuel they abandoned the a/c somewhere in the Driffield area. There is a suggestion that the a/c continued on its own way for a period before crashing somewhere in the Flixton area to the west of Filey at 2359 hrs Some of the crew suffered heavy landings.

On the return journey the hydraulic system failed, probably holed by Flak. The loss of hydraulics caused the flaps to lower followed by the undercarriage the the bomb doors. The wireless operator put out an SOS and despite attempts by the crew to rectify the situation, Motherwell was forced to ditching this highly dangerous configuration at 04:05 hours. They were 70 miles off the East Anglian coast. At times a search scene could resemble flies around a honeypot and this was the case during the search for Motherwell and his crew. Sqn Ldr Simpson in Hudson L/279 and Fg Off Garven in U/2279 were scrambled at 18:01 and 18:23 respectively. On arrival at the search area and they discovered three Lancasters and two Halifaxes, one of which was another 420 Sqn aircraft flown by Flt Lt E S Heimpel RCAF, circling two dinghies containing the seven survivors. The Hudsons dropped smoke floats to help mark the position and shortly afterwards a Walrus amphibian arrived and picked up the survivors. Sometime later an RML was homed to the area and the survivors were transferred to this from the Walrus. The RML then took the Walrus under tow and headed home.
