Theo,
Last known time and location of Halifax III LW427/C is given as 1815 at Tholthorpe, which was the place of departure. Target Schweinfurt. Cause is given as "Cause unknown. 1 unidentified aircraft seen to crash over target and explode." Pilot F/O Henry Maynard Long. Gile was navigator. Intended course out and back is given; do you need that?

And that is it, which doesn't tell you the location of the crash, other than Schweinfurt.

Enjoy!

Frank.
