KH215 was one of three Liberators lost on 358's first Special Duties op to French Indo China, and allegedly at least 2 were shot down by American P- 61 Black Widow night fighters. There was an official coverup, and full details are still lacking. KH215's pilot was 139520 F/Lt Kenneth Hartle Brailsford. Crew of 8 are buried in Taukkyan War Cemetery, Burma. KH277 and KH278 were the other two Liberators of 358 Sqn which were lost on this night. The crash site of KH215 is only 11 miles from that of KH277, while KH278 fell in French Indo China far to the east. It is likely that only KH278 was shot down in a friendly fire incident, while KH215 and KH277 crashed due to extreme weather reported over the Chin Hills by other participating 358 Sqn Liberators
