Was there an actual RAF Officer 6-6-1944 “D-Day”?

I did come across Belgian flyer Francois August VENESOEN he flew as WOP/AG with 235 Sqn Blenheims gaining the Battle of Britain clasp. Later he trained as a pilot flying with 350 Belgian Squadron during the Dieppe raid 19/8/42 later he joined 610 Sqn was awarded the D.F.C becoming an ace. 6/6/44 he flew an early patrol in a 350 Sqn Spitfire EN950. He body was never found and he is commemorated on the Runnymede Memorial !
