Beaufighter X LZ450 236 Sqdr 1944-05-20

[grvreijn]

I´m investigating the crash of Beaufighter X LZ450 of 236 Sqdr on May 20th. 1944. Crash location given is s´Gravenzande(Scheurpolder) in the Netherlands. However there is no Scheurpolder in the region of s´Gravenzande. There was one at the Island of Rozenburg south of S´Gravenzande. Does anybody know more info that can determine the exact crash location?
The pilot was killed but I have not been able to find out what happened to the Navigator or about the mission and other aircrafts that took part in the attack.
No german fighter claims of a Beaufighter is known so it must have been hit by Marine Flak of the ships it attacked.

Any additional info is welcome.

Hi,

Navigator was F/O M W Hustwick, 152520, buried in Hook of Holland General Cemetery, Zuid-Holland.

Thanks RAFcommands this must be him. It seems the navigator also bailed out over the sea. Unfortunately little info available on the internet on Hustwick or the mission.
