Crashed Heinkel III in North Africa

Hello,
Does anyone have any loss information on Heinkel III coded '6N + GG' crashed in the Western Desert?

The aircraft is pictured on page 205 of A History of the Mediterranean Air War: Volume Two.

The 'GG' part of the code seems unusual.

Thanks,
Doug

I think the Staffel letters of the Gruppe ran G, H, J.

There's lots of examples in Jean-Louis Roba's KG 100 history, "L'escadre au Drakkar".
