http://www.rafcommands.com/Air%20For...Ws%20Camp.html
Sagan and Belaria

In the above list he is listed with serial number 67035, this is his officers serial number, he was commishioned in 1941:

http://www.london-gazette.co.uk/issues/35196/pages/3521
741999 Maurice Equity LENG (67035).

If you search for the name and also for the serial number 67035 in the London Gazette you will find him in the services up to 1962 at least. very distinctive name, Equity!!

Not sure if this page suggests he was lost in 1942 with 2 PRU?
