SGT J R KEITH - 87 SQN RCAF - 1942

Can anyone tell me anything more about this officer? I came across this small memorial in a field not far from my home - it was really strange as I'd stumbled (almost literally) across it on the anniversary of the crash ( 8 Feb ). I'd never seen it before or knew of its existence - I've since discovered that he's buried at Colerne ( Nr Bath) - I assume he was stationed at RAF Colerne? His full name was John Rainsford Keith - I'd like to know more about the crash itself - was it an accident or combat related? Tim
