Martin,

I have your two errant losses listed thus:

9 October 1940 3./KüFlGr. 606 Dornier Do17Z-3 (2771). Failed to return from night sortie to Crewe and crashed in the sea 20 km off Lizard Point, Cornwall. BM Fw Kurt Göhlich killed, BO Lt zur See Erik von Harbou, FF Fw Hans-Georg Langer, and BF Obergefr Herbert Rübesam all missing. Aircraft 7T+HL 100% write-off.
No trace found despite search by Breguet WZ+AD of Seenotflugkdo.1 from Brest-Süd that evening and again the following morning. The body of Kurt Göhlich was recovered from the sea off St Eval on November 1.

10 October 1940 3./KüFlGr. 606 Dornier Do17Z-3 (3618). Landed damaged at Brest following sortie, cause not stated. Crew all unhurt. Aircraft 7T+KL 15% damaged but repairable.
