A couple of points

Both Shores and Halley prefer L1971 as the Hurricane lost by Mitchell.
L1671 is listed as lost in France during May 1940. New info at your end or finger trouble?

Since the Do 17 was claimed shot down 11.05H I am puzzled by the time stated for Mitchell's crash. It is reasonable to assume that Mitchell actually was shot down at (or slightly before) 11.05H as well. Why should it take him 55 minutes to crash, especially if he is on fire, his a/c was emitting a lot of smoke!

Cheers
Stig
