Bf 109 and Bf 110 crash at Booienhooven

I have a photo that shows, from a distance, the wrecks of a Bf 109 and Bf 110 that collided at Booienhooven (?), according to the writing on the print's verso.

Unfortunately, no codes are visible on either airplane, only the individual letter on the '110 (which appears to be an early model): a light coloured 'C' (the Bf 109 is totally destroyed).

Does anyone know details of this accident?
Where is Booienhooven? It sounds Dutch...

Hello Denes,

With the help of http://www.routenet.nl I got to a place west of St.Trond, better known as Dormaal. You must zoom in a lot before you read Halle-Booienhoven.
For Holland there is no such place that resembles much with Booienhoven...

Any idea when this collision could have happened? Can you see anything about the camouflage?
