Air Force Lookups - if you need help

[kyt]

Hi K !

Would you happen to know anything about this flyer please ? I'd appreciate the help ! 

Squadron Leader Wyndham Levy GRECH, obtained his aviator’s certificate on 19th July 1916. He had joined the Army in March as 2nd Lieutenant, but transferred to the newly formed Royal Flying Corps. During World War I he was involved in combat in the skies over France. With the outbreak of the World War II he joined the Royal Air Force, and for a time served as adjutant at Luqa RAF Station. He was born in 1890, the son of Mr and Mrs T. Levy Grech of Valletta, and having graduated from the University of Malta in 1913 as a Doctor of Laws, followed a legal career between the wars. He died in Malta in 1956

Afraid I haven't been able to find anything about his RAF career except his promotions etc.

However, there is an article on him published in the Malta Aviation Museum's magazine:

Many thanks indeed Kyt   
Dunno how you apparently find these details so easily - I scoured the internet's "vast" resources for some time without any hint of success!
One thing - I'm not sure if by "possible loss" you're inferring that he was killed in action.  Just to clarify, he survived the war and went back to Ireland (apologies, I didn't include this in my original post).  I believe a family member has a newspaper interview with him post-war which I'm also trying to locate.
Thanks again Kyt, very much appreciated!

Sorry, I phrased it wrong. Yes, I meant loss in that the aircraft was shotdown, or crashed for some other reason, rather than his loss.

Sorry to keep you waiting but I am still waiting for a response from a contact who may have some info.
