Thanks very much for all the input. I had some good news this morning. The researcher from the Bundesarchive who is helping me, sent me this, this morning!

The researcher seems to have been able to pin point all 5 planes that went missing that night!! Hurrah!

Here's what i received this morning:

I've read the whole correspondence in the forum and have now a few remarks:
1) I've checked the records of the Luftgaukommando XI. That means that I've checked every shoot down in the following aerea XI: Lexikon der Wehrmacht - Luftgaue The Manchester shot down was also mentioned, but I first thought this information isn't important for you. So I think we have all 5 planes, 5 were shoot down by anti aircraft guns and not by aircrafts in the night of the 8th-9th April 1942. So it's likely that the two unidentified aircrafts were also Wellingtons. I will check now what the anti aircraft units reported about this shoot downs.
2) Here are the detailled informations from the antiaircraft units:
