Lake Josnvatnet Ju88/He111 loses

A few questions on the Lake Jonsvannet Ju88/He111.,

Been reading that Htpm Artur/Arthur von Casimar was shot down in his Heinkel 111H-3 in May 1940 whilst in Norway. It indicates that he was captured. Did he remain capture or was he released when Norway surrendered? Cannot find any reference to the loss of this He111 which is not the one from Lake Jonsvatnet.

Additionally 2320 6N+NH was reported 100% lost on Lake Jonsvatnet on the 20 April 1940, again no reference?

A Ju88 of K30 crashed on Lake Jonsvannet on the 17 April and I believe this is the half a fuselage that was recovered. 4D+EM of 4./KG30 crash landed and again the Germans salvaged the usable parts. What is unclear is what happened to the main centre section. Is it still at the bottom of the lake.

I tend to think He111 6N+NH and Ju88 U4+TK seem to have been damaged on the lake after a raid by the Royal Navy from HMS Ark Royal and HMS Glorious on 25 April. Aircraft had been observed on the lake the night before.

Later
“While the lot was retiring, the Skuas of the second wave arrived. Ark Royal's contingent again worked over the six ships in port, claiming one hit and many near misses, while two Skuas spotted a Ju-88 and a wrecked He-111 on a frozen lake and shot them up for sport. “

Has anyone anythnig to add that contradicts or reinforces the above?

regards

MS
