Info on force-landed G1+KS of 8./KG55 during FC

Hello,

I've got a number of photos that I'm trying to caption for the data base of a force landed He111 of 8./KG55 with the code G1+KS. The plane came down intact, and doesn't seem to be identified in Hall and Quinlan during the French Campaign, although there was a G1+KS that doesn't seem to fit the condition of this one that was downed during the Battle of Britain after a mid-air collision W of Versailles, near Paris, on 30.8.40 with all killed. The one I'm working on may have the W.Nr. 2816, although this is a little shakey. This might be an aircraft damaged by AA fire on 15 May 1940, but the description don't indicate a forced-landing. Who can provide some help on this on?

Regards,
