No,
That happened, it appears the Pilot was killed over the target in France! The aircraft (Spitfire-92 Sqdn) flew a 180, passed within 2 miles of it's home base (Biggin Hill), and made a perfect landing on the trees nr. Bromley in Kent. The aircraft wasn't spotted for a month, until an Anson driver saw a Spit nestled in the trees.
