4x Bf-109 crashes - 3./JG 3 on 2 Dec 1940

[Leendert]

On 2 Dec 1940 4 x Bf-109s of 3./JG 3 made crash landings in the Knokke (BE)-Cadzand (NL) border area along the North Sea coast. Fuel starvation after a mission the cause.

They were Werknr. 4131 (E. Bock), 4108, 6383 and 6385 with damages in the 75%-85% range.

Interested if names of pilots of latter three a/c are known?

Thanks for info.
