I was on 807 at Lossie at the time the Grier-Rees incident happened. Think it was only a day before we heard of his recovery. Double hydraulic failure usually associated with the pumps but more likely a leak somewhere which emptied the systems (two pumps on each engine cross linked for single engine performance).
Lt Grier-Rees was a nice bloke who came back to a bit of a cheer from the lads as I recall.
