Bf109 "BE+GC" any info?

Any information about Messerschmitt Bf-109 coded "BE+GC".
10th June 1942 it started transferring flight from Tallinn (Estonia) 21:30 o'clock to Pori (Finland). It reached Pori but due to heavy fog landing was impossible. Pilot decided to turn back.
After starvation of fuel, pilot made an emercency landing in village of Nakkila (south western Finland) 23:30 o'clock.
Plane was badly damaged and pilot injured.
Plane was not yet officially belonged to JG 5 (because it was not listed as JG 5 loss list). Final destination of the plane was the northernmost part of Finland - Lapland.

Does anyone have any information about the plane or incident? Some photos about Bf-109 coded "BE+GC", possible Werkenummer, etc?

Re: Bf109 "BE+GC" any info?

I wonder a little bit about this transfer flight. Every German aircraft, which entered the Finnish airspace from northern Russia, had to land at Malmi to check in (info from Matti Salonen some years ago).

For this date there is no Bf 109 mentioned in the main log of Malmi and there is no accident report for such an accident in Finland that day.Furthermore I have no German aircraft registered in the BE+Gx range.

This accident is a real mystery.

Does anyone have access to the old LEMB database? I tried at the site but I'm getting an error message.
