Death of W/C Lance Wade

Hi All

On the Air Britain forum there has come up a problem regarding the death of W/C Lance Wade on 12 Jan 1944

It has previously been reported he was killed in an Auster at Foggia.
This "fact" is also repeatedly stated everywhere on the 'Net, even to such an extent that one source says it was a twin-engined Auster....

An answer has been received that Wade died, not in an Auster, but in a Spitfire Mk Vc JK603.
Unfortunately that cannot be verified by looking at the known (to me) data of that aircraft in question.

Does anyone on this forum know exactly in what aircraft Wade was flying on his last flight?
