Fw 200 loss confusion

Can someone clear up the identities of two Condors lost during May and June '41.

Foreman, 1941: The Turning Point, Vol. 2, notes the following

21/5/41 Fw 200C-3 WNr. 0061 (F8+KL) crashed on take-off at Rennes 20%
15/6/41 Fw 200C-3 WNr. 0061 (F8+KL) crashed off the Portugese coast near Monre 100%

I'm not so worried about the Vkz., it's the WNr.s that don't add up. I checked Blitz V.3 and neither date lists an entry, though there is an entry for a WNr. 60 (F8+DH) lost on 19/5/41 and an unidentified loss in the Atlantic on 30/6/41 (any details on this?)

Any help would be appreciated

regards

Adam
