Hi - don't have much, but do have a photo of my father and his crew, who flew with 218. They're in typical pose grouped around a cookie and in front of their Lanc. Sadly one of the crew later died when they lost the plane in a raid over Neuss in January 45.

I think you already have details of the rather dramatic circumstances of its lost, in which one of the crew won a CGM.

I have also sent you a separate email seeing if you can help me with codes for the crews normal Lanc - I have commissioned a painting of a daylight raid on St Vith, and could do with some info
