He59 off Alderney

On a Seenotdienst website it relates how Col.Otto Dreyer reported that his He 59 (white with red crosses) was attacked by an RAF bomber as it taxied towards a downed airman. The Heinkel was set on fire and sank but the crew took to their dinghies and came ashore next day at Alderney. Is there anymore information on this incident including the date, from the website it looks like in the July/August 1940 period.

Regards
