Hello,
I have not seen it on this thread. On 11 September 1943, the ORB of 93 Sqn RAF recorded the following:
"Patrol over PEACHES. On landing at strip N.8505 (on orders from controller) American flak opened up on our aircraft which were in circuit, with wheels and flaps down. S/L Macdonald was hit in the tail and crashed, being killed. Sgt Baxter was hit, and crash landed unhurt. Other aircraft were damaged, but managed to land. After refuelling 6 A/C airborne 1610-1655 hrs, returning to base. One A/C was late in starting back, and has not yet returned. The pilot (F/S. Andrews) was heard to say he was airborne, but there has been no further news of him."

My guess is that the shot down Spitfire was EF674, also listed there:
