Bomber in Harbour Circa1940

My great grandfather crash landed a bomber in Mevagissey harbour in circa 1940 when his pilot was killed in action and co pilot was critically wounded.

He was awarded the Distinguished Fling Medal which was listed in the London Gazette in July 1940

Does anyone have any information, paper cuttings on this event

His name was Frank Hibbert and he was a Seargent at the time
