Aircraft of No 218 Sqn was reportedly hit by German flak and landed on the beach at Vlissingen (Flushing). The crew is given as Captain J F Chisholm and Sergeant Williams. Numerous planes of the warring nations in Flanders ended up in Zeeland province and were interned, this machine becoming DEH-446 in Dutch service. It was returned in 1920, minus the engine. The grand building is the Grand Hotel des Bains, destroyed during the liberation of Vlissingen in November 1944.
