Interesting stuff. But about Russian Lancasters,

What happended to the several Lancasters (617 and 9 squadron) which forcelanded in the Russian wastelands while
they were attacking the Tirpitz?

I have seen a photo of a Lanc that bellylanded (see Lancaster at war I or II, Ian Allan). It was taken from the air and it was clearly to be seen that the four engines had made four trenches in the soft mud when the aircraft slid along on its belly.

As ever a very curious Cees
