RAF 615sqn Hurricane 1 V6618 5th feb 1941

Hello everyone! I am a new member & would be most grateful; for any help with this please! I am trying to find the fate of this Plane, (Hurricane 1 V6818) which was involved in a mid air collision with another Hurricane of 615 Sqn,P/O S.Czternastek (V7598) that Plane crashed locally & the Pilot was killed. he is buried at Hawkindge cemetary.
also from 615 Sqn,V6618 Pilot,B.Wydrowski baled out & landed safely with slight abrasions & was flying again within 10 days!But I can find nothing at all of what happened to his Plane V6618 anywhere. I have orbs 540 & 541 for them both & have applied for forms 78 & 1180 to see if they show up where it crashed? PO Wydrowski survived the war, returned to Poland & lived until 1994 & is buried there. I am trying to compile a full account of this occurance & P/O Wydrowskis flying records too.I do have some records of P/O Czternastek for the RAF & PAF too. I also plan to erect a small memorial locally & send amended corrected copies of the Pilots records & details of this incident to the descendants of both Pilots families in Poland.The Polish websites have many discrepancies regarding this, one of the main ones is that PO wydrowski was killed in the collision...............he survived, so thats got to be put right for starters!
Ive requested the forms mentioned above from the RAF Museum, as the national archives seems very hard work to me, but thats probably my lack of site navigation skills............ anyone know anything of this one please? all the best frankiestein
