11 Group,
Found this link by using Google to search for ‘Hurricane P3053’ https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=MK6WBQAAQBAJ&pg=PT158&lpg=PT158&dq=Hurricane+P3053&source=bl&ots=4dWcT6j-Tt&sig=pj_HB_il0ZAUDlG3EQxhkYBr6nE&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0CCwQ6AEwAmoVChMIlLD7w7TqxgIVSEAUCh1f5gUD#v=onepage&q=Hurricane%20P3053&f=false.
Sgt H E Black died 9 November in Ashford Hospital from burns and serious wounds. His aircraft came down at Hothfield Park, near Ashford. The Bf109s that shot him down are not identified.

Edit. If no-one can identify his attackers I suggest you try the 12 O’Clock High forum at http://forum.12oclockhigh.net/index.php
