Wellington X LP501U Loss October '44

Hello everyone,
I am posting this once again in the hope that someone here may be able to help. I have tried the RAF Commands forum and got some great feedback but I am still hunting.
I am after any information at all about my late father Norman William Flight who flew a Wellington X from Foggia, Italy in 1944. He was an RAF Sgt. Pilot with 104 Squadron, 205 Group and he was shot down during a raid on Szombathely, Hungary on the night of 20/21 October 1944.
All the crew baled out and survived. My dad was then a prisoner in Stalag XXIb until the end of the war.
I would love to hear from any of his crew who are still alive and any of their family. The only possible name I have is an 'Ellis'. It would be good to know who else was in his crew that night. The plane he flew was coded: LP501U.
After the war he had a long flying career in the RAF until his retirement in 1977.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Regards,
Ross Flight
