Just found this thread, I have found a contemporary news report on the loss of Hurricane L1593 of 79Sqn on 20th June 1939.
Western Daily Press 21st June 1939
‘PLANE STRUCK BY LIGHTNING
During a heavy thunderstorm yesterday a single-seater hurricane fighter, apparently struck by lightning in the air crashed at Ditchling Common, Sussex. The pilot, Sergeant. Leonard Frank Davis, R.A.F was killed instantly. The machine hit the ground at about 400 miles per hour, and the engine buried itself in the earth at a depth of about 50 feet. Wreckage was strewn for hundreds of yards around. The pilot, had apparently attempted to escape by parachute, but in its fall the machine, it is assumed, caught and severed it from his body. It was found some distance away from the machine. The pilot fell almost on top the aeroplane.

Just a note I looked up the incident in Colin Cummings book ‘Category Five’ and he confirms that Collingwood was in Meteor F.4 VT232 of 4 FTS crashed Dinsdale, York on 15th November 1954

Is suggest it is this incident

15.11.54 Meteor F.4 VT232 of 4 FTS crashed Dinsdale, Yorks when it Lost power after take-off at night and flew into ground near Middleton St.George (1 Killed)

Richard A Collingwood death registered at Northallerton so looks likely
