Looking for Father (Canadian Seviceman)

How do I start looking for my natural father? He was a Canadian serviceman based near Croydon, UK. I was born on June 9th 1942 in Croydon, UK and adopted after 6 weeks. My adoptive mother told me that my natural father was a French Canadian (air force I think) but was killed before he could marry my natural mother. His first name was Roger. My natural mother named me Roger after him (I was born Roger John Attenborough (mother's surname). My first name was changed on adoption to Michael. I have traced my natural mother but she has a form a dementia the only thing she could tell me on one occasion was that my father was killed by a bomb while in the UK.
I know I have a few clues but don't know where to start. Any help would be welcome.
