Loss there may have been Sgt William Johnson of No. 541 Squadron in BS498 instead.

Sgt Johnson's objective was the Dortmund-Ems Canal. He took off from Benson at 06:00. UK was using DBST (GMT+2) on 13 Jun 43 which was the same as MET so Hutter's claim (08:03) would match the probable location and time for Johnson on his return leg.
Schoehl's claim (09:55) seems too late to be Johnson's Spitfire and as Chris says a much better match for Hall's machine both for time and location.
