Correction? Sergeant Denys Lionel SHUTE (755725) 1940-09-24 Age : 26 years.

https://www.rafcommands.com/database...hp?qnum=110210

I do not believe he was


"Lost in aircraft Anson I N4914 Died from injuries sustained when wounded in Anson N4914 over the English Channel in an attack by Bf109s"

But was killed in an Air raid London on this date - his death is registered (as Dennis L Shute) in Westminster (aged 26) and he buried East Finchley Cemetery
