2 german planes belly-landed,Norway 1943

Dear researchers,

On 01.11.1943 one FW190 probably from JG5 bellylanded in Larvik,Norway and on 17.11.1943 one Bf 109,presumably also from JG5 belly-landed in Larvik. The distance between these 2 incidents is roundabout 5km.

One eyewitness that was the first one to run towards the FW190 after the pilot jumped out unhurt,told me that on the left side beneath the canopy it was painted a name : "LOLA". As far as he remembers the text was painted in red.
The FW190 also had a droptank he said that was crushed during the landing. He assumed the age of the pilot to be not more than 25 at the time. The witness remembers very well that the FW190 was full of oil,and the pilot also showed the witness by putting the oilpin into the engine to show him that it was empty. He also remembers that there was a specific instrument the pilot needed to remove from the cockpit before leaving the area with 2 german soldiers that came some time after the belly-landing. The pilot took up a metal item and tried to remove the screws,but failed. The eyewitness quickly understood that the pilot needed a screwdriver,so he went for one,and removed it for the pilot he says. Immediately after the pilot put the instrument in one of the thigh-pockets.

Does anyone have any idea what units these planes belonged to or the names of the pilots??
In advance,thanks.
