Luc,

Here is what I have at present. I have never been able to establish exactly where this aircraft came down. Let us hope that someone knows.

Stab LG1 Heinkel He111H. Failed to return from reconnaissance mission over Bruges. Uffz R. Bröer captured badly wounded, later died in Dunkirk hospital. Uffz W. Kleint captured slightly wounded. Uffz W. Koch and Obergefr W. Hinrichs captured unhurt. Aircraft a write-off.
The wounded observer, Wilhelm Kleint, was later reported killed by shrapnel during a German bombing attack.
