Re: RAF Heinkel 115
According to 'Malta the Hurricane years', the He115 was forced to alight on the sea 20 miles from Malta and then broken up by high waves. The third crew member was the observer S/Lt (A) Reginald G. Drake RN. The book states that the bodies of F/Sgt Blaize and S/Lt Drake were recovered by a Swordfish floatplane on the 23rd, but it is not clear where they were buried. S/Lt Drake is shown by the CWGC as having no known grave and is remembered on the Lee-on-Solent memorial.
Hope this is of some help
