Trevor,

I believe this may be your man:

1./JG26 Messerschmitt Bf109E-1. Shot down by Moranes of GC III/3 in combat north of Breda and crashed by the pumping station on the Oude Dijk near Hoeven 10.40 a.m. Possibly one of those attacked by Sgt Le Nigen. Uffz. H. Speck killed. Aircraft a write-off.
