B24 42-52218 of the 453rd Bomb Squadron

This aircraft crashed a Goudhurst Kent on the18th March 1944. Does anybody have a exact location for the crash & details of its mission?

Many thanks in advance

I have this plotted as being at a place called Trillinghurst, the wartime map reference (Casini Grid) is given as 155547. This puts it half-way between Goudhurst and Kilndown.
