Mission Completed by Simon Smith (AP) REG102 3 guns were knocked outDHM2210AP. Mission Completed by Simon Smith. Depicting the morning after a gruelling operation during the autumn of 1944. As day breaks a returning crew awaits the crew bus at their aircraft dispersal, grouped before their mighty bomber which shows fresh scars of battle from an arduous mission over occupied Europe. The exhausted men are clearly relieved and thankful to be safely home at their in Lincolnshire base. Signed by Group Captain William
