According to The Blitz Then & Now part 1

6/JG3
werk number 3874.
The site was excavated and the werk plate recovered in 1975. The subsequent investigation of the remains leading to the identification of Buchner is covered in detail

The aircraft was shot down by FO Ken Marston of 56th Sqd. St Nicholas at Wade is only a couple of miles away
from here across the marshes.

Hello all,

I have Unteroffizier Fritz Buchner of 6./JG 3 who was shot down over England on 26 Aug 40 near Chislet Marshes / St Nicholas at Wade. He flew Me 109E-1, w/nr 3874.

Marston shot down Uffz Willy Finke of 4./JG 3 near Grays Farm, Reculver.
