Served with 12 Sqn. Shot down by a night fighter moments after leaving the target area, crashing at la Belle Idee on the main road leading to Troyes. All of the crew survived the crash- one being captured immediately and the remainder evaded capture with the assistance of locals, Sgt Davidson having bailed out. He was accidentally shot on 26th May by a French resistance fighter while hiding at the Hotel Dieu de Troyes. The bullet exited his groin, having fractured his pelvis. His wounds were initially tended by Bill Viollet before being transferred to hospital, where he later died.
