In my family the RAF mortality rate was much lower, but everyone of them had a crash induced from taking fire. One was coming back to Scotland apparently unscathed. Never heard from again, wingman did not know what happened to him.

They found and brought up an old Lancaster out of Loch Ness several years ago that my Uncle had ditched during the war. Interestingly enough, it was the only model of that aircraft to have "survived" up to that point in time. I think it was the mid '90s, maybe '96 it was brought up. Found with sonar looking for Nessie.
