Identity of He111 from Stab KG26 crash-landing

Hello to all,

I'm trying to code into a data base a photo of an He111 from the Stab of KG 26, 1H+AA (the Gesch. Kde's a/c?) that made a force landing on a beach, probably somewhere along the coast of the North Sea. This same photo is illustrated on P. 162 of Fledgling Eagles (Shores, et.al.). In that publication the authors seem to possibly associate it with a crash landing on 30.1.40 upon returning from an anti-shipping mission. The markings would indicate that this probably did happen sometime in 1940.

Has anyone conclusively identified this incident? Need date, place and circumstances, including, if possible, the names of the crew.

Can anyone help?

Thanx and Happy New Year to all.
