Lancaster JB149

Good afternoon,

I wonder if colleagues with expertise regarding RAF and Luftwaffe history may have knowledge of this Lancaster from 101 Squadron at Ludford Magna which was lost over Berlin on 3/4th September 1943.

I understand that no trace of the aircraft or 5 crewmen was found and they remain missing presumed killed. There are a number of lakes around Berlin which may contain remains of this aircraft and the crew? We would like to identify a crash site if at all possible.

Statements from the surviving crew add little to what we know.

Any information from colleagues in this forum would be appreciated.

Many thanks and best regards,

"Squawk"
