Hurricanes N2608 and V7221 of 213 Sqn, 1st November 1940

Hi All,

Could someone give me more infos about both Hurricanes ? Both airplanes were shot down that day, In most sources all point that P/O Boleslaw Andrzej Wlasnowolski (76736) of 213 Squadron was shot down in N2608 on 1.11.1940 crashing at Liphook Game Farm at about 16:00
but in AIR 81/4064 I can find, that he was in V7221 "Pilot Officer B A Wlasnowolski (Polish): killed; shot down, aerial combat, Hurricane V7221, 213 Squadron, 1 November 1940"
There is even a memorial in place of his crash https://www.tracesofwar.com/sights/1...cane-V7221.htm
so, who was in which aircraft that day ?
I think second pilot was F/O Hugh Desmond Clark
In ORB can find only AK-V for Wlasnowolski
In F78 cards is FB.Burnt out for both Hurricanes

Thanks in advance,
Mariusz
