Ju88 of 9/KG4 lost 1-8-40

The combat report of Sgt. Richardson of 242 Sqd. shows that following attacking a He111 he shot down a Ju88 15 miles east of Lowestoft at 1855 hrs. This would appear to be the Ju88 of 9/KG4 with Oblt Geisler, Oblt Wagner plus 2 missing, could anyboby supply aircraft and crew details please,

Regards
