Spitfire X 4102 DW*K, flown by P/O D.M. Gray…August 24, 1940. It was shot down on this day and the pilot wouded. This was one, there was more than likely others.
Best Wishes.

Ghostrider.
Unless I’m mistaken that doesn’t answer your question at all.
You asked who flew Spitfire DW*K during the Battle of Britain and that picture states that DW*K was flown by “Pilot Officer John Kerr Wilson who was shot down and reported killed in action on 29/05/1940.”
Therefore he couldn’t have flown DW*K during the Battle of Britain as it didn’t commence until July 10th and ended on the 31st October.
