RAF bombers lost to RAF bombers

Gunston states that at night jittery Lancaster and Halifaxes mistakenly shot down their fellows when they loomed too close.

Is it known how many RAF heavies were shot down by friendly fire from their fellow bombers? Approximately how many .303 rounds would be needed?
