Hello Brian,
A bit of a long shot I know but here is a Defiant link.
Defiant L7025 s/d into the sea by Bf109's 2 miles off Herne Bay, Kent 26th August 1940.
F/O I. R.Stephenson baled out ok. Sgt. W. Maxwell missing.

Your P/O Maxwell of 151 Sqn Also used Defiants and your date is June.
Just might be the same man ??

Then there was from your "Aegean" book a F/O "Jock" Maxwell ??

All the very best
Alex
