I think you will find he may have forced landed west of Ashford on 15.9.40

I interpreted it as meaning "Holland sustained injuries upon landing in his parachute" after bailing out of a/c.

The history of R6606 doesn't show it assigned to 92 Squadron. It does show it assigned to 74 Squadron on 10-6-40, but it did receive C3 damage on 15-9-40, http://www.spitfires.ukf.net/p009.htm

R6606 Ia 691 EA MIII FF 13-5-40 9MU 15-5-40 238S 19-5-40 FACB 10-6-40 AST 74S 1-9-40 C3 ops 15-9-40 61OTU 1-7-41 53OTU 23-6-42 58OTU 28-1-43 flew into high ground West Cairn Hill Midlothian CE 17-2-43 SOC FH296.30

Who knows?
