I think that the problem is that at times the Staion ORBs and Squadron ORBs gave infomation which can be regarded as scant.The point is that there was a war going on at the time and adjutants had little time to write up the detail and completely validate it.For instance the name of the crash site may be given but this might be the parish or an airfield situated within that parish.In many cases some airfields were named, not after the parish that the airfield was situated in but an adjacent area.
Those involved at the time, if there were survivors, can usually add some definite detail of crashes and official detail such as photographs at the time can be used to identify the crash area.Bystander knowledge can be crucial in identifing the aircraft and date of the incident and given good memory along with the information given by a ORB,it is possible to reveal the aircraft, its crash site and its loss circumstances.
However I think I may have identified the two aircraft if we ignore the crash dates given. These crashes were of the era quoted.
In the meanwhile I will look at the 61 Squadron statistic and repost with my thoughts.
