There is no trace of a plane that crashed near Valence that day. Do you think there may be an error in the assessment of combat coordinates by the German pilot?

You're right. The location RL-2 is a long way from the other claims that day (the ones around Manosque would be the closest) so it is possible that there was an error in the reported co-ordinates.
