Mosquito DZ553 Missing

Hi
http://www.airhistory.org.uk/dh/_DH9...odn%20list.txt
Mosquito FBIV DZ553 540Sqdn Missing on PR sortie from Malta 29.7.43
Can anyone help determine what actually happened 29.7.1943 to this Mosquito,
along with the names of the crew? Geoff's and CWGC do not give answer.
Thank you in advance
Pavel
