There is no informations in the RAF Fighter Command losses (revised edition) about him Do we know the circumstances of the death, the crash, the serial of the Hurricane ? Thank you again.

Thank you again udf_00
Now it's clear for me. René Mouchotte had written in a letter that the crash of P/O Timewell was on 8th august and not the 4th. Secondly I thought about the Hurricane it was the V6936 and not Z2404. Thank you again,
