The rear turret, the hydraulic gear, the inter-communication system, the wire less apparatus and other important equipment were rendered unserviceable. Fit. Sgt. Mowatt and Sgts. Bisby and Bridge were wounded. In spite of this, Fit. Lt. Trobe succeeded in flying clear. Two of the bomber's engines had failed but Sgt. Bridge succeeded in restarting one of them. He afterwards extinguished a fire which had started near one of the turrets and later assisted Fit. Sgt. Mowatt to quell another fire which had commenced in the fuselage. Mean while, Sgt. Bisby, although in considerable pain, had remained at his post throughout the en counters, and worked unremittingly to effect a temporary repair to his wireless apparatus. He succeeded in obtaining a fix which proved of material help in enabling his pilot to set course for home. Later on, his wireless apparatus again failed, but, although on the point of collapse, Sgt.
