London Gazette 25th October 1950 Awarded the Bar to his DFC whilst with 427 Sqn. London Gazette 13th April 1943. Citation: Wing Commander Dudley Henderson BURNSIDE, D.F.C. (37464), No. 427 (R.C.A.F.) Squadron. Distinguished Flying Cross. Pilot Officer Reginald James HAYHURST (128419), Royal Air Force Volunteer Reserve, No. 427 (R.C.A.F.) Squadron. One night in March, 1943, Wing Commander Burnside and Pilot Officer Hayhurst were captain and bomb aimer of an aircraft detailed to attack Essen. When nearing the target area, the bomber was hit by anti-aircraft fire. One of the crew was killed and another severely wounded, while the aircraft sustained damage. The aileron control was affected and the windscreen de-icing glycol tank burst drenching Pilot Officer Hayhurst and filling the forward part of the bomber with suffocating fumes. Despite this, Pilot Officer Hayhurst directed his captain to the target which was successfully bombed and a good photograph obtained. The aircraft was held by searchlights for a few minutes but Wing Commander Burnside skilfully evaded the defences and set course for home. On the return flight the aircraft encountered enemy fighters but, each time, he shook them off. Displaying fine airmanship he flew the damaged aircraft back to an airfield in this country. In a very trying situation both these members of aircraft crew displayed courage and determination of a high order. Later in his service he was Mentioned in Despatches (MiD).

Just cleared Mount Royal, and narrowly missed the Sun Life Building, the Bonaventure Railway Station and a school before slamming into tenements on Shannon and Ottawa Streets in the community of Griffintown in Montreal, Québec. 5 crew and 10 civilians on the ground were killed in the ensuing explosion and fire. Pilot may have been trying to reach the St. Lawrence River to ditch the aircraft. The cause thought to be the structural failure of the tailplane. Weather may have had a bearing on the accident.
