Ju88 L1+GM of 4/LG1 shootdown 12 Apr (?) 1942

Hi folks,

Just researching one of my Flugbuch for a Uffz Richard Hackethal of 4/LG1 and I am just trying to clarify what date he was lost over Malta. At the following link it mentions 12 Apr 1942 in Ju88 L1+GM:

But the last entry in his Flugbuch is 12 Mar 1942, a Feindflug from Iraklion to Elevsis in his usual mount, Ju88A5 L1+FM. I'm very much an amateur and am very happy to be proven wrong, but it does seem rather a large coincidence that his Flugbuch stops exactly a month before his supposed death. Link to a couple of Flugbuch scans on a thread I made over at Wehrmacht History Forums:

Basically I'm just curious and wonder if anyone has any further information? All replies gratefully received.

Thank you
