Looking for photos of He111, V4+DA of Stabstaffel KG1 that FL at Bunde, The Netherlands on 20 April 1940

Hello,

I'm trying to locate high-res photos of this FL He111 down in The Netherlands during the Sitzkrieg:

"20 April 1940: Stabsstaffel KG1 Heinkel He111H-2 (2020). Attacked near Maubeuge by Cpl Cukr, S/Lt Troyes, S/Lt Codet, Adjt Poincourt, Sgt Vie, and Sgt Loï of GC II/3 during photo-reconnaissance sortie between Reims and Paris and chased into Belgium with port engine disabled. Then intercepted over Visé by Gladiators of 1/I/2 flown by Sgt Delorme, Sgt Verpoorten, and Sgt Van den Broeck and eventually belly-landed at Bunde in The Netherlands 11.40 a.m. (Bs) Sonderführer Fritz Stern (Kriegsbildberichter) badly wounded, died next day. (Beo) Lt Paul Lehmann, (Bm) Oberfw Augustin Wutz, (Ff) Fw Hans-A. Kopitz, and (Bf) Uffz Kurt Koschorreck interned. Aircraft V4+DA 100% write-off.
War correspondent Fritz Stern was buried with full military honours at Maastricht four days later.

Can anyone help?
