You can apply for his service record as he's been dead for more than 25 years the cost is 30GBP. Visit the British Medal Forum and search "freedom of information requests". There is a large topic covering the application details. I just applied for an Army officers records and received a letter on Monday confirming they had them and that they would dispatch them within 3-4 weeks. It was a very slick operation.

Cheers

He doesn't appear in Bomber or Fighter Command losses on that date, so possibly a non-operational loss.
