mysterious kent crash

Does anyone know of a combat crash of a Spitfire or Hurricane that crashed 1800yds north of Biddenden very close to the Smarden Rd about 200 yds from the Headcorn Turn. Locals put the date as 1940 but it could be 1941.Time would have been afternoon. Plane went sraight down from say 5000ft into the ground.No parashute was seen,and locals tell of local police collecting pieces of pilot. Memories say 603 squadron Hornchurch.I am told that there is nothing at the site commemorating the incident,and as we dont know the date,its very hard to solve the mystery.
