F/Lt. Louis Douglas "Tug" Wilson force-landed P9331 at Champagne. He made his way to Poitiers where a ground crew repaired a damaged and abandoned Fairey Battle L5360 RH-C of 88 Sqn. The ground crew then drew cards for a place on the aircraft and Wilson flew four of them back to Heston.
Here are some photos of P9331 that seem to indicate it was stripped by the Germans for replacement parts. Perhaps its engine had seized. Note the tear drop "blister" on the canopy of PR Spitfires.

And these photos show P9331 abandoned in a different hangar whose broken windows let in the snows of the winter of 1940/41?
