Failed to Return - Missing



I think this info came from Colin Cummings - Price of Peace. But no pilot information. There is no other casuality for this date (http://www.rafcommands.com/database/wardead/index.php?qname=&qnum=&qdate=1945-04-20&qunit=&qcntry=&qmem=&cur=0) that seem to fit the profile. Did the pilot survive?
