He115 shot down by Skua 25 April 1940 Norway

Hi guys

On 25 April 1940, a Skua shot down a He115 of 2/506 (WkNr 2248) which apparently crashed near Stordal, north of Orkanger. Has anyone additional detail? Crew?

Cheers
Brian

According to "Fledling Eagles"(p.285) the Heinkel crashed into a hillside at Størdalsøren. The crew bailed out and were rescued by German troops. They were shot down by Lt.G R Collingham.

We have been at Størdalsøren looking for remains of the aircraft, but did not find anything. No one there remembered any aircraft crash at this place.
