Thanks for the info. I know the names of the crew and the aircraft number. It crashed on siedener moor northwest of hanover and I want to find the exact crash site location. Any ideas on how I can get this info will be welcome.

If you contact the Air Historic Branch at RAF Northolt, giving them the tail number and date of crash they should be able to help as they can access files raised at the time.

Just a hunch, but the CWGC have more info than they publish up front such as where a body was originally recovered from.
