I received this from a friend. Can anyone give him advice on where to search the internet for more details or indeed if they already have details?

With your knowledge of all things aircraft, I am hoping that you may be able to help with a little research that came my way following a discussion with a very nice vet and his wife on Anzac Day after the march and service at Cleveland. They are trying to find out what happened to a Lancaster with a relative on board – it disappeared on the night of 17/18 January 1943 during a bombing sortie over Germany. The only details they gave me are:
Stanley Earnest Logue (Gunner)
ID NO; 22643 (??)
Lancaster “L” for London, 1656 Heavy Conversion ED316
Based at Lindholme AB
The couple have had no luck finding information except that it may have gone down in the English Channel after an altercation with a Night fighter – nothing has been confirmed though. They have spent a lot on telephone calls to England but have come up with zip except a large phone bill. Anything you could find out would be much appreciated.
