Pilot S/L Hilary Richard Lionel Hood DFC RAF - missing, believed killed.
Spitfire P9428 was reported to have broken up in the air over Wickford.
Probably as the result of a collision with wreckage of F/L Websters aircraft, R6635, which in turn had collided with a Hurricane of No. 73 Sqdn.
Human remains along with a partially opened parachute were found and removed to a mortuary. These remains were probably those of Squadron-Leader Hood, but remarkably were never properly identified.
Squadron-Leader Hood DFC RAF has no known grave and is still listed as missing in action.
Spitfire P9428 wore the squadron code EB-R.
The aircraft was struck off charge on 13/9/40.
