Perhaps not a combat flight?
The losses I have are for:
Operations over Britain
Western Front
Scandinavian Front
Home Front

Nothing in any of them; nothing for KG 54 on that date.

Inital 'digging' shows his body was washed ashore at Creil Plage, France, on 25th August 1940. So it now becomes a case of the number of days his body was in the Channel before being found on the shore. The date on his gravestone is given as 25th August, but that is obviously wrong. Not the first time the date a body was washed ashore was given as the date of death.

EDIT: Found it!
13th August 1940
Stab I./KG54 Junkers Ju88A-1. Shot down by fighters during sortie to Farnborough and crashed in the Channel. FF Oberlt Kurt Erdmann killed, BF Oberlt Georg Meyer (Geschwader NO), BO Uffz Hans Haferkamp, and BS Uffz Gustav Bortz all missing.
