Identity of Wellington loss Retie/Rethy in Belgium 30-31 May 1942?

Dear all,

I have found a Luftwaffe Flak claim for a Wellington shot down on 30-31 May 1942 that crashed 2 km NE of Retie (Rethy) in Belgium, at 01.00 hrs. I have not been able to establish the identity of this aircraft, who can help?

Cheers and thanks, Theo
