Tempest Loss 222 Sqn 29/04/1945 Puzzle?

Hello All,

I am researching a W/O Leslie Gordon Rowe of 222 Sqn who according to the CWGC Records show that he was KIA on 29/04/1945 & is buried at Kiel War Cemetery.
Just been looking at the Tempest losses for this date but according to "The Typhoon & Tempest Story" by C.Thomas & C.Shores it only shows one loss - That of a 3 Squadron Tempest (NV663 JF-S) flown by a W/O A.Crowe?

Is this a Typo error on someones part? i.e CWGC or the Book as none of the Details, Squadron/Names or otherwise just does not tally up?

Does some knowledgeable Person have any other details on this action which would shed some light on this Puzzle?

Many Thanks - Keith.
