I very much doubt it, simply because any commander would wish to replace the aircraft and any crew casualties. To do that, he would have to account for the loss.

I think anyone who served in the miliitary would tell you that there were always forms to fill in whenever you wanted any piece of equipment, however small - and a Lancaster or a B-17 is not small.
