Form 78 confirms P9550 as lost with No.1401 Flight. Bircham Newton ORB makes no mention of the flight but does list aborted sortie by Blenheim of No.1403 Flight.
RNLI records confirm loss off Eastbourne
NOVEMBER 7TH. - EASTBOURNE, SUSSEX.
A British aeroplane had been seen to crash into the sea, but a search, in which an Admiralty boat and aeroplanes took part, found nothing. - Rewards, £16 8s. 3d. (Source: RNLI Records of Service 1939-46)
So if the casualty card gives P9550 then I would put Wilson as body recovered off Eastborne sometime after 7th.
