MARSEILLE his last kill

Hello all
I have been reading the schiffer book on Hans Joachim Marseille and am now very interested in his last kill, no 158.

The book says that the way Marseille's opponent attacked clearly indicated that he was an expert. The two pilots parralled each other equelly matched. After a long duel Marseille finaly shot down the Spitfire and the pilot did not get out. When he landed the ground crew were horrified to see he looked like a ghost and that his hands were trembeling. He described the spitfire pilot as a masterful adversery.

Just who was this British pilot ? does any one fit the bill ???
Maybe the question has been asked before, but Im a new boy !

Regards
David
