Interesting plane, I found it 3 times:

22.05.1942 Airfield Gilze-Rijen - Bruchlandung, technische Mängel, 25% damage with I./KG 2 (return from a misson to the Humber Estuary)

02.08.1943 Airfield Perleberg, Reifenschaden, 30% damage with 10./KG 100

11.12.1944 airfield Nancy-Essey found by Allied Troops

no any names of crewmembers....

Source GQM reports and A.I.2(g) rep.260
