Sgt Roland F. LEA - 570361 - 89 Sqn (Abu Sueir, Egypt), buried Malta (Capuccini) Naval Cemetery. I could find an 89 Sqn loss of Beaufighter I.F - X7691, 8 miles E of Abu Sueir, however don't think Sgt Lea, buried on Malta, could be connected with this accident.
What caused Lea's death ?
Regards and thanks,
Henk.
