Anson MK-R 500 Squadron crashed 12 July 1940?

Hi guys

According to 'Aircraft Casualties in Kent 1940' (Kent Aviation Historical Research Society 1990), Anson MK-R of 500 Squadron crashed at/near Detling on the night of 11/12 July 1940, with the loss of P/Os Aston and Chauffey, and Sgt Prentice and AC Hubbard.

I can't find these casualties/nor any details (serial number) for MK-R.

However, I note that a Sgt M.A. Prentice of 500 Sqn was lost on 9 August, and that an AC1 W.C. Hubbard had been lost on 11 July.

There seems to be some confusion here! Can anyone help?

Cheers
Brian
