P.S. In checking my notes for 3.(F)/Aufkl.Gr. 22, I can find no loss for 6 March 1942. It was flying missions in the Kholm-Toropets-Ostashkov area at that time but there seem to be no Gen.Qu.(6.Abt.) losses reported for it between 4 February and 13 April 1942, at least that I saw in the microfilmed records. That doesn't mean it didn't happen, but you might want to double-check your information nevertheless.
