Is 1st Lt Stephen PASCAL still MIA ?

Hello, ClinA-78. I assume you are Belgian n'est pas?
Have you tried contacting the newspaper which published that report for any contact names or further details which they may not have published?
I cannot help you much, but I too am following a "Ring" trail. Halifax HR732 failed toreturn from a bombing raid on Leipzig on 4th December 1943. There is a likelihood that it was hit twice by flak and exploded in midair on the approach to Leipzig. 3 years after the end of the war, his widow received his wedding ring, but nothing else.
No nightfighter records match and a rear gunner from the same 51 Sqdn reported seeing a bomber at the same altitude hit twice by flak and explode. No other trace of the aircraft has been reported or traced.
Coincidentally, a Ju88 was lost that same night after shooting down 2 Lancasters (not recorded in claims) and in Sept 2003 the pilots body was recovered from the wreck in Ochsenwerder near Hamburg. His widow and daughter (then 60) at least had closure which is what I am trying to help the relatives of the crew achieve.
Good luck with your search!
