Does it seem reasonable that JP137 may have been also destined for 614 Squadron?

New information received suggests that JP137 may in fact have been assigned to 624 Squadron.
Letter received from an ex 624 Squadron member, recalling the reported loss of JP137 as losing one of 'ours' ... and remembering the pilot's name as Evans... Not sure if there's anyway of checking that out further?...
There is a website for 624 squadron, but the forum registration charge of £10 seems a bit high, for just a tentative enquiry.....
