Looking in Vol 2 of The Blitz Then & Now it would appear that Amode has a distinction of being a victim of the legendary 'Cats Eyes' Cunningham.

Shot down by Sqdn Ldr J Cunningham DSO DFC and Sgt C.F. Rawnsley DFM in a Beaufighter of 604 Sqdn.

Fw A Amode killed.

Excavated by Perry Adams in December 1985 when small pieces of badly damaged airframe were unearthed. A manufacturer's plate bearing Wn. 1482 was also discovered to confirm the aircraft's identity.
