Research on a Night fighter

[Spurius]

Max, Hi there.
I have failed to find any reference to a Lancaster lost the night of the Hamburg Raids in 1943. It just seems to have fallen off the map. If you can find any indication what happened to them I would be grateful. All I have is that it was a Lancaster ED534 and I believe it flew out of RAF Bottesford.
Thank you
Spurius

Do you have the exact night it went missing over Hamburg? I'll have a look for you when I get home.

Hi Max,

I have my doubts about this information. What cross-referencable data has been used to place this plane NE of the target at 1.25?

Try asking Dr Theo Boiten. He wrote the book containing the information, not me.
