It's surprising what can still be discovered. My wife's great uncle (WAG 100 Sqn) was captured at the fall of Singapore and eventually lost at sea when the Japanese transport was torpedoed by a USN submarine. (the ship itself had been captured by the Japs in late 1941). Through PPrune, National Archives, libraries and the internet, I managed to piece together a huge amount of peviously unconnected material about his flying, capture, internment and, ultimately, his death. Moreover the USN submarine is still around, in San Francisco and the trustees provided me copies of the boat's log and copies of their chart traces. Additionally, they provided photos of the recovery of many allied POWs who survived the unfortuantely attack.
PS I can't see to get the link (OP) to open.
