Thanks,

That makes it Sea Hurricane / Hurricane Mk. XIIA Serial BW872

Edit: Chris Charland on RAFCommands has supplied the following when I asked for pilot details

“Your man is 1608610 Sergeant R. A. Nash R.A.F.V.R.

The accident happened at 14:00 hours some 300 feet west of the air firing range on Lake. St. John. Nash carried out a bombing run on his target and then made a tight turn to exit the area and blacked out. He subsequently hit the water but managed to get out before the Hurricane sunk to the bottom of the lake.” – Sgt Nash was un-injured

The AX serials given to the Goelands (and Simoun) were apparently not taken up though the one written off at Sealand was allocated AX776.

Date of this was 15.8.40

If you search for Satyr in flight global archive you get the name Yamomoto as a pilot who flew her at least once in the 1930’s Further, searching on the name Yamomoto and Yamamoto will provide a couple of other 1930’s hits – I assume this is the Japanese pilot referred to. Now if anyone has a searchable Belgium newspaper archive we would probably find a hit on these 2 names for same time period
