Re: Hurricane P2701
Regarding P2701 and Allen, if the aircraft was lost behind enemy lines even if it was in a state where under normal conditions it could have been repaired, the RAF would still record it as written off if it didn't return.
As for the pilot there are several possibilities; he died shortly after landing and was buried near his aircraft, and the grave site was not marked properly and became lost over time (unlikeliest), or he was buried somewhere else nearby such as a graveyard and the burial not properly recorded or he initially evaded capture and was lost en route to Dunkirk or even in in the evacuation.
