Re: Lancaster ID

I believe the loss is:

61 Squadron Lancaster LL911/X, crashed on the night of 8-9 February 1945.

The still-closed P4 Cas file held by the RAF AHB has a German document on it, stating that the Lancaster was shot down by a Nachtjäger at 21.30h and crashed near the Eckerbergenwald observation tower, 3 km. north-west of Stettin.

Surviving crew members confirmed the aircraft was shot down by a night fighter.
