I have now obtained the death certificate which has given me some further information.

Flight Lieut Edward Thomas HOLLINS age 29 died May 17 1962 (later than I first thought).
He was stationed at RAF Thorney Island.
Cause of Death:
Drowning, when an RAF aircraft in which dec'd was Navigator crashed in the sea, there being no evidence why the crash occurred (an open verdict).

Inquest held 8.6.1962

This now gives the information that I need for my family tree. It would be nice to know what aircraft was involved.
