Rowland Thomas Williams RAF fighter pilot

Hi guys

I came across the above-named pilot on the BBC's WW2 People's War webiste, in a piece written by his daughter. Can anyone put flesh on bones please?

Rowland Williams - presumably a Mustang pilot - crash-landed in Denmark following combat with a German fighter; apparently, he shot down the German aircraft and a piece of debris damaged his air intake. He crash-landed and was helped by Danes to evade German patrols and finally reached Sweden by fishingboat.

No indication of date or unit is given and I can't place the incident. Hopefully, someone will enlighten me, please.

Cheers
Brian
