Re: Losses of Lancasters in Stettin / Politz - ID for one wrack.
Dear Kris (or Krzysztof?)
I am not able to recognise from what kind of equipment both name plates are taken from. But some of date looks like clear information for me.
Namely on bigger plate there is mentioned type 683. Maybe there is coinsidence only but type 683 in Avro is Lancaster.
On the smaller plate there is IDD RR. Does it stands for Rolls Royce? - maker of Merlin XX that powered Mk. I version.
As for the losses of RAF bombers in our area for this moment I can only search in Nachtjagd War Diaries but there will be only those destroyed by nightfighters.
For complete list of FTR bombers I do recommend series "RAF BC losses" by W R Chorley that list all of them no matter of cause of loss.
Best regards/Pozdrowienia

PS. It took me so long time to complete my answer so Gregor30 was faster in answering. Noticible is that we proposed the same "solution"
