Blenheim Mk I K7050 of 12(P)AFU on a night exercise 10/8/43.

As the title says , has anybody more info on Blenheim Mk I K7050 of 12(P)AFU on a night exercise. T/O RAF Spitalgate Grantham 9/8/43 and it is believed the pilot Sigfred Johannes Christophersen ( Danish ) became lost and attempted to land at RAF Bottesford's Q site. Christophersen was killed when the A/C exploded and burnt out 10/8. Christophersen had spent an interesting if not productive time with the SIS earlier back in Denmark. There is no mention of any other crew members killed on some websites and others say 3 were killed but 2 are un named. I have checked the CWGC site but can not find any related deaths. So would a pilot fly a Blenheim solo and some web sites making presumptions it had a full crew ? An intresting part of the story is Christophersen's new English wife blamed one of his SIS team for his death. TIA Shaun
