Question Battle of Britain fighter ace

I was reading somewhere about a WWII pilot by the name of Eric Lock a few days ago. What really caught my attention is that this little fella was the highest ranking pilots of the Battle of Britain (in terms of enemy aircraft shot down). But who has ever heard of him? Not only, he is totally overshadowed by the likes of Douglas Bader who had a less impressive record.

Has anyone heard of him and if not where can I go to find out more about Eric Lock himself and what might have happened to him the day he was shot down. Would the MOD have any useful info, or are there any societies that deal directly with this sort of stuff.

Any pointers would be great. Ta in advance.
