I accept CWGC has his death for 16/12/1941

All the info on BL387 has that it Crashed on delivery flight to 39 MU - The issue being that would imply on land and so if a casualty a body SHOULD have been found

The only ATA casualty I have listed for 10/12/1941 is Ist Off T W Rogers who is buried at Myddfai, Carmarthenshire - so something adrift here especially as I have Rogers in Spitfire BL498 and Chris Pointon says Botha W5103.
