I think you will find he may have forced landed west of Ashford on 15.9.40

I interpreted it as meaning "Holland sustained injuries upon landing in his parachute" after bailing out of a/c.
The history of R6606 doesn't show it assigned to 92 Squadron. It does show it assigned to 74 Squadron on 10-6-40, but it did receive C3 damage on 15-9-40,
