Spitfire I "B" down on beach at Dunkirk @6/40

I recently acquired a printed photo of a what I think is a Spitfire I that force-landed on a beach at Dunkirk, according to the caption on the back. The cockpit section back to the cocarde is burned out, but the a/c letter "B" is very clear. Unfortunately, the quality does not permit indentification of the serial number. Can anyone identify this a/c, including unit, pilot and crash date?

Thanks
