Shot Down Ku.Fl.Gr 406 Pilot Question

I am looking for details with regards to the shooting down of a Luftwaffe pilot. The airman, Wilhelm Meyer, was serving with 2./Kuestenfliegergruppe 406 at the time. Thanks to his Soldbuch, www.ww2.dk , Volksbund database & www.luftwaffe.no I have been able to find out that he was shot down & killed (along with his crew member Willi Seedorf) while piloting an Arado-196A-3 WkNr 0318 in the vicinity of Hustadvika in Norway on 14th June 1943, but is there any on-line resource/publication where I can find out which Allied squadron was responsible for the attack?
I had originally thought it might of been an aircraft from the Banff Strike Wing but having checked they weren't operational at the time with RAF Banff only being officially opened in April 1943 and the Mosquitos & Beaufighters not arriving until September 1943.
Any pointers are much appreciated.
