83 Squadron Lancaster
 

We are seeking remaining details of a Lancaster which landed at Lashenden ALG on the morning of the 25th April 1944. It had taken part in a raid on Munich and lost two engines due to flak over the target. We know that the pilot was F/S Ken Lane, Flt.Eng, F/S Dick Raymond and the B/A Don Cope, but who were the remainder of the crew ? Can anybody advise the a/c serial number and code and whether it left Lashenden under its own power or was removed in pieces (the runway at Lashenden is short)

We know that Lane and his crew were subsequently shot down by nightfighters over Holland on the 23rd May 1944. Their Lanc, ND963, OL-H, was on its first op.
