So Sqdn code would be "UP".

4, 222 and 605 Sqdns.

Just looked in FCL vol1, page 106
2 February 1941
605 Sqn
Hurricane II
Z2329
Sgt. K.H. Jones - Pow
Drifted over the North Sea( shot down ? ).
Landed on German airfield in error, set a/c on fire with Very pistol, Stalag Lift 6, Heydekrug.

A second 605 Sqn a/c was lost this day, Z2308 Sgt H.W. Pettit Shot down, drifted over North Sea, KNG.

Question
Could it be foam and not snow, as it seems to be under the a/c but no wheel tracks ?
Hi Alex
you beat me to it, just found pretty much the same online

To me it is Z2329 02 feb 1941 sgt jones

foam would make sense as the a/c certainly didn't burn out as mentioned in my link

cheers
jerry
