According to "The Fabulous Fifty-Seventh Fighter Group of World War II" The 57th was under the operational control of 211 Group RAF, flying out of airfield 174 near Ammeria, Egypt.
Lancaster is listed in it as KIA but there are no details. The group was flying escort for RAF medium bombers during that time in support of operations near El Alamien.
