The Vickers Wellington was shot down by a German night fighter in June 1941. That happened after a bomb attack on Bremen, on the return flight to England.

Only 1 of the Czech crew members survived the crash at Nieuwe Niedorp.

During the night of 22 to 23 June 1941, an RAF aircraft with six Czech crew members on board crashed in the Kostverlorenpolder near the Kanaalweg in Nieuwe Niedorp. The aircraft, the Vickers Wellington T2990 of 311 (Czechoslovak) Squadron Royal Air Force, had carried out a bombing raid on Bremen that night and was intercepted and shot down by a German night fighter on the way back. One crew member managed to jump out of the burning aircraft in time, but was taken prisoner of war by the occupying forces. The other five crew members were officially missing until recently.
