From the National Archives AIR/27/2072 601 Squadron ORB
30-Apr-1945 (PT584)
Another of our pilots was forced to make a hasty landing when his aircraft sprang a glycol leak. He was instructed to fly towards the coast, but before he reached then he dived into some heavy storm clouds and was then lost sight of. He reported by R/T. that he was going to force land. As a result of a search instituted for F/O. Vose, wreckage of a Spitfire was seen on the North side of Lake Comacchio, but it is not certain whether this is a squadron aircraft or not owing to the impossibility if seeing the squadron markings. He was also reported as Missing, and the aircraft E.2.
