Hello Dave
Something is strange about KB818: you indicate that she crashed landed at Ford but according to AIR 27/1858/27, she was planned to be part of the raid over Goch but she do not appear on the listed particpating lancasters. Only ten Lancaster are listed on the 7/8 February.
An other point: in the same document, it is mentioned that she was not serviceable two days before due to several equipement u/s.

Best regards
Franck
