Fred,
Please note that the DC-3 lost on 23 May 1940 was not OO-AUH, but OO-
AUI.
This DC-3 was lost near Calais.
OO-AUH ended up in Algeria (Vichy France), went to the Italians, and then to Germany as D-ATZP, only to be destroyed in May 1945.
Meanwhile from the same website epibreren.com:

Captain John M.H. Hoare, British Overseas Airways Corporation, age unknown, 23/05/1940, Arques Churchyard, France
Over Calais it was hit by anti-aircraft and part of the left wing was torn off. The pilot (Raymond Chartier) made a forced landing near Arques. The navigator was killed and two of the passengers wounded, while Chartier was shot by German troops as he tried to reach French lines. The remaining passengers were taken prisoner including Plt Off Benson Freeman of 24 Squadron. The engineer, Piet Vrebos, survived the crash of OO-AUI. The German troops took him POW, but released him and sent him at home because he was a civilian.
Groet,
Leendert
