Captured 50 SQ Hampden VN*X

Hello,

Does anyone know the date and circumstances of the capture of 50 SQ Hampden VN*X, a photo of which sold today on eBay as auction #290017570838?

I presume this made a forced landing in 1939 or 1940. Correct?

Thanx

Could be

P2070 Forcelanded 25/26.08.40 out of fuel Lautersheim Germany

PO Wawn, Sgt J Scholfield, Sgt R Smith and Sgt Bushell all POW. Raid - Bombing Berlin.

or

AE318 8/9.09.41 Crashed near Oldenburg, Holstein cause unknown.All POW Raid to Kiel.

I am guessing that it is most likley the first although nothing more.

From The Hampden File, Air Britain Publication. - Harry Moyle.
