Losses of RAF Recce Spitfires needed!

Does anyone have loss cards/data for Recce Spitfires lost between early August and mid September 1944 in the general area of east of Roermond, NL...north of Aachen, GE and west of Moenchengladbach, GE???
A tail wheeel of a Spitfire was found near Heinsberg, GE and eyewitnesses place the crash around the first week of September, a week or two before they were all evacuated due to the front drawing closer. Thanks, Danny

Re: Losses of RAF Recce Spitfires needed!

Probably does not fit your description but the following losses were found in EYES of the EIGHTH, a history of the USAAF 7th Photo Group:

5th September 1944
Spitfire PL782 (14th Squadron). Attacked by a pair of Me 262s and shot down near Stuttgart, Germany. Lt. Robert B. Hilborn was taken prisoner about 500 meters north of the town border of Stuttgart-Feuerbach.

8th September 1944
Spitfire MB952 (14th Squadron). Failed to return from a mapping sweep of the Siegfried Line. Eyewitnesses on the ground reported seeing this aircraft fly low over Reckange-les-Mersch, Luxembourg where it crashed near the town, killing Lt. Charles J.J. Goffin. Ironically this USAAF pilot was a Belgian volunteer. The crash site was less than 100 km from his home in Graide and the cause of loss was undetermined.
