Danny,
I am afraid not pure gold just a very small nugget. The best guess where to find on the program is at or before 41 minutes. As it was recorded off a not advertisement free channel there may be 6 or more minutes of junk on my record.
I posted all the information there was. The clip starts with a view of left hand page of log book with summary for July '45 showing types flown, then McGregor reading them followed by a longer shot of log book showing full summary including hours for type.
If some U.K. based Ppruner could locate and get sight of the relevant log book this should show relevant information of this flight. Given being July '45 a Mk.IV (US A-35) seems likely.

July '45 summary shows:-

Argus ……. 3-50
Spitfire ….. 3-20
Corsair ….. 1-20
Barracuda . 1-55
Sea Otter .. 1-40
Vengeance 1-30
Tempest …. -55
Firefly...…. 1-00
Wildcat...…. -50
Anson
Wellington
Ventura
Mitchell

No explanation given for lack of information on last four types.
