Lancaster R5700 of 9 Squadron FTR

Hi,
Lancaster R5700 of 9 Squadron RAF failed to return from raid on Hannover night of 22/23 September 1943 and crashed 25km S.W.of Hannover.
Can anyone supply details of this - was it shot down by Nightfighter or Flak.
I would be very interested to know as my father Sgt.V.J.Lander was the rear gunner on this aircraft

Cheers

Bruce Lander
