I think that we should wait some time and see if the veteran organisation answers.
EL Grifo send the first email 4 days ago - give them time to answer.
They may also have to do some digging in their files - the "Hurricane Harold" died 15 years ago.
And they do not necessarily check the inbox every day, as some people do!
I am convinced that the website is correct, i.e. there was a H.R. who flew with RAF or RCAF wings. This pilot might have force landed a Hurricane south of Selkirk, and he might have returned years later and approached El Grifo, as he reports.
He might also have been Canadian, as he reported - being a Canadian may also explain that AA is unable to find any death record for this man(?).
But I agree with Milo with regard to the Lt. Col - over and out, as we said on
the radio.
