Looking for approx. time Uffz. Karl Finke of JG 26 went down in his Bf-109E (Wnr. 3711) at Wijtschate, some 7 kms S of Ypres/Ieper, Belgium on 8 July 1941.

Loss is said due to air combat with a Spitfire, reportedly also downed, with RAF-pilot POW. Trying to see if this was Spitfire R7263 of No. 145 Squadron with P/O Peter Pine (RCAF) who was taken prisoner at not too far away Courtrai/Kortrijk that day according his postwar questionnaire. RAF-squadron was over SW Belgium in mid-afternoon, escort mission to Lllle.
(RAF loss not to be confused with Spitfire R7218 of same squadron on FR/BE North Sea border.)

Any info welcome, thanks.
