293 Sqdn crew

Unit was the Warwick Training Unit and I have deduced base was Bircham Newton (or maybe Docking). Have been researching the Navigators history - he was from NZ - but have drawn a blank on the pilot he was often crewed with ultimately in North Africa and Italy later in 1943 and through 1944 as they moved from 283 to 293 and back to 284 Sqns. Is there anyone on this thread who might have any info on B.O.Gregg (pilot) (Canadian) , K.H Kearse (navigator) (NZ) and WOp/AG Morrow. Have consulted ORB's at National Archives at Kew (where there is a photograph of Officers of Squadron with Gregg and Kearse (and others) named)
As you might have guessed I have been researching my father's old squadron (293Sq) over many years and have accumulated quite a bit of material. Looking through some of the official records I see the names of the crew you mentioned cropping quite frequently. See the example below,



This is just one example I picked out at random. If you need more examples please let me know.
