All sources I have (all second hand) states this happened 26.2.941 and NOT on the 25th.
Robert Gretzyngier in his Poles in defence of Britain July 40-June 41 says
Sgt Mieczyslaw Parafinski lost his life in mysterious circumstances during combat training with P/O Witold Retinger in which Hurricane I V7073 crashed at Guisborough 26.2.41.
Checking Air Britain RAF Aircraft V1000-W9999, Jim Halley says the crash happened 2 miles NE of Guilsborough, Northants, 26.2.41.

Since Guisborough and Guilsborough is no doubt the same place and Guilsborough is the correct spelling

Cheers
Stig
