51 sqn crash in 1942

One of my colleagues is looking for details of an uncle, David S Parker, who died in an aircraft crash in Devon in 1942, flying with 51 Sqn at the time. Can anyone provide details of the aircraft and circumstances of the accident?
Thanks

Hi Propstrike et al

You wouldnt know anything had happened there without the information from the landowner regrettably.

Hi Mooog, welcome to the forum.

Does any evidence of the crash remain now, or has it entirely ‘returned to nature’?

Eric Ford Goodwin wrote a book called “Some were Lucky” giving full details of the accident. He visited the farm in the 1980s. Looks like thoiugh he died in 1998

Catching up a few years late on this thread, I am researching this crash and visited the crash site last week, trying to find relatives
