Biographical Notes:

On a raid to Benghazi, Libya, the crew of a Wellington bomber signalled back to base that they were abandoning the operation. On the return trip in bad weather, the plane crashed and burned out 3 miles SE of the landing ground  at Bir Koralyim. Raymond LLoyd was the observer on board.  [ For Your Tomorrow, Errol Martyn, Vol.1.p.198]
