Unknown German loss 27.10.1940

Hi,

A bit of a needle in a haystack here.

At around 13.30 hours on October 27th 1940 a 218 Squadron Blenheim crew witnessed a 'aircraft' crashing into the sea off the coast of Holland. Investigating the 'splash' they found an aircraft upside down with a large black cross visible. While taking photos a German float plane arrived on the scene. The crew departed without engaging.

Is there any losses reported on this date, if so can the aircraft and unit be identified ?

TIA

Steve
