However, it may be that this aircraft was Lancaster I (W4956) "UV-J" of 460 Sqn, RAAF flown by F/Sgt WF Pridgeon, all killed, as the unit lost three aircraft that night (according to Strike and Return by Firkins) and this is the closest match to the serial you provided. Any comments or corrections are appreciated!

Horrido!

Leo
The other two losses being

W4325/UV-O, crew of F/S R S Hogben all KIA

W4330/UV-H, crew of F/S James all KIA

...You won't find that in your John Weal...
