Loss of three SAAF Blenheim Aircraft near Kufra - 4th May 1942 Fliegel Jezerniczky Expeditions Some interesting info on the Desert War on this site.
There was an article on this, in Aeroplane Monthly a few months ago. A particularly unpleasant way to die, but at least the RAF and SAAF were prepared to commit resources to try and find them, which was not a foregone conclusion given what else was going on in North Africa in May 1942
