Hello,

According to the EoE Luft Loss DB: "August 30, 1940: 7./KG53 Heinkel He111H. Forced-landed at St Omer damaged by fighters north-east of North Weald. HB Fw Hans Pallauf killed, rest of crew unhurt. Aircraft damage state not recorded."

It seems likely that this aircraft may have appeared in photography, particularly on eBay. Has anyone found a good candidate for photos of the FL?
