Looking for photos of 4./JG54 Bf109Es that were damaged in Blenheim attack on 07.08.40 in Zeeland, Holland

Hello,

Eight Bf109Es of 4./JG54 were destroyed or damaged in a Blenheim bombing attack on Haamstede AF, in Zeeland Province of western Holland on 07.08.40.

Two more from 6./JG54 were slightly damaged on the ground at Vlissingen, Holland, on 18.08.40.

I have photos of one of the 109s burned out on the ground at Haamstede, but there are likely to be other photos of the ones damaged in these attacks. Does anyone have images of these a/c, or have any German records that might give us a/c numbers, W.Nrs or regular pilots of the planes lost or damaged? I know that one at Haamsteded was E-4 W.Nr. 1623 that was the a/c assigned to Oblt Dieter Hrabak, but I have no photos of it. This info comes from his FB.

Who can help?

Regards,
