Attacked by Lou Jacobsen in his Gloster Gladiator 2.June 1940 in Narvik area. This aircraft belonged to Kampfgeschwader 26 (Lövengeschwader) stationed at Sola. The aircraft tried to limber back on one engine to its base. Low on fuel they decided to make an emergency landing at lake Grøvelsjøen on the Norwegian side of the border. The four man crew survived the landing unhurt. They were picked up by a He115 See (S4+?K) from Hommelvik See, two days later.
