It was at or they were using the Holbeach bombing range. Quite a few aircraft have gone down in the Wash over the years. The latest was about 2 years ago when a Tornado went down while using the range.

i Seem to recall the pilot was taking part in target practice a few weeks before the end of the war and flew into the sand bank.

This could be the Mossie wreckage that was sitting in the old EW shed at Wyton…..as of two years ago.
As such it’s “owners” will be either MOD/Wyton Pathfinder museum or vaguely, you could try the Stirling Project folks for info.
