Seeking ID of crashed Spitfire "Y" near Calais, France, probably summer, 1940

Hello,

I've got three photos of this badly crashed Spitfire with the letter "Y" that the source captions say were taken in the area of Calais, France, probably in the late spring or summer of 1940 up to the Oct-Nov 1940 time frame when white fuselage bands were introduced.

Initially I thought that it might be the Klipsch 92 SQ crash site from 23.05.40 (P9373), but two people who were present when that crash site was dug are certain that this isn't that one.

So, can anyone help ID this one? One of the photos may show that this overlooks a harbor area, although I'm not sure what the background is.
