Hi Henk

CWGC has him as J N Wallworth not Wandsworth.

The Malta Family History site (http://website.lineone.net/~remosliema/rafw.htm) doesn't have him listed under either name.

J N Wallworth is KOAS in Flight Magazine dated oct 22nd 1942.

There are Maltese Civilian Casualties this day:

Mary and Carmela Calleja, St. JOhns Street
Anthony and Carmelo Debono, St. Johns Street
Alfred Fenech, St. Cajetan Street
Fredu Muscat, St. Cajetan Stree
Jennie Scerri, New Street
Joan C, William H & Fillipa Whiddatt, St. Cajetan Street.

A bombing casualty maybe.
