Info on 126 RAF Sqn. pilots needed

A friend of mine asked me for help in tracking down two pilots of 126 Squadron, that is, Wing Commander HANKS and P/O Rod Smith, who reportedly contributed to the shootdown of an Italian S.79 of 132 Gruppo, 278 Squadriglia on 13 August 1942 off Malta.

Does anybody know if any of the two pilots is still kicking and if the Sqn. records for that action are readily available (otherwise he may have to plan a trip to the PRO!)

Contact me in case you need more info
Thanks
FFW
