You might include the year date and a/c type to help.

I am assuming this is the man you're looking for:

29244 S/L T. G. L. Lovell-Gregg. New Zealand native. Lost 15 August 1940. No online source states who shot him down.

On 15th August 1940 the squadron was scrambled at 1730 hrs to intercept forty Ju87’s, escorted by twenty Me110’s and sixty Me109’s. Lovell-Gregg led the squadron out of the sun in line-astern, straight at the 110’s. His Hurricane was hit and caught fire. He came down from 15000 feet, apparently under control and heading for Warmwell. Eye-witnesses said that the pilot appeared to change his mind and he circled the Abbotsbury area, skimmed low across a wood and a ploughed field and crashed in a copse, striking a large oak tree. Lovell-Gregg was thrown clear but was already dead when reached.

I am afraid that claims are too imprecise to say who shot him down
