Is that DD/MM/YYYY?

If so, it shouldn't be to hard to find a record, The Netherlands were still neutral.

Did you check the usual references?

Illusies en Incidenten (up to May 1940)
Nooit was het still Vol. 1 (after May 1940)

I could check those sources if no one gives an answer beforehand.

P4924 was a Bristol Blenhein of 107 Sqn , that was written off after a belly landing at RAf Lossiemouth in Scotland after a bombing mission to Stavanger / Sola on 17th April 1940.

So this does not match your serial number which must be wrong. R4924 was a Tiger Moth.
