Heinkel 111. Someone should be able to identify the unit based on the crest very soon.
Looks like KG 26 as the main bomber wing but I'm not sure of which Staffel (Squadron)

The shield is green, white lion, from 1939-42. The writing says "Beware Lions", I guess in reference to England's coat of arms

I do not know.
OK. No problem. However I didn't find any info on the landing there. So perhaps it could be on another day but not on May 15th.
4 May
Six aircraft of III./KG 26 made an unsuccessful attack on naval units; one of them made a forced landing near Vega while a second was completely wrecked lading in Trondheim.
14 May
The II./KG 26 operated four He 111 H-3 and three H-4 during the afternoon. One of these was attacked by fighters which shots its port engine to pieces and damaged its landing gear; none of the crew was hurt but it force landed about 85 km ENE of Bodø.

Happy to be corrected, but the clock is very similar to the clock fitted on the mid right hand side of the He59 main panel.

It also could have been fitted to the early He111, but I have not been able to find proof of this...anyone have manuals or photos ?
Very interesting thread and wonderful piece of History.

The on-board clock ( Junghans Borduhr Fl.22600 ) Fl.22600, is a classic chronometer with a decentralized second hand and 8-day movement. This watch was built in large numbers and was extremely accurate and durable due to its high-quality movement. It was used not only by the Luftwaffe but also by the Wehrmacht eg. the radio and communications stations. Generally the kind of the clock could be found in cockpits of the rather early Bf 109, Ju-87, Ju-52, also Bf 108 Tajfun and many others.
Here the Fw 56 pilot's panel ... in the left top corner ...
Bücker Bü 133 C ... on the right of the compass ...
