Kevin,
Well lets see how much better your google skills are than mine. I got the ORB's from St. Eval and found that Doug and most of the the crew of HR732 at that time flying a Whitley in late April to late May 1943 on anti sub patrol (as previously mentioned with Fred). On each of their six Ops while at St. Eval actually had a crew of six (not five as one would expect). The sixth crew member listed as P/O Searle R.N. (however listed second in the crew listing so possibly a second pilot? - Pilot Sgt. Salvage was always listed first) and not part of HR732 when the rest of the crew was posted to Snaith. I am trying to find if R.N. Searle is still alive as it looks like he survived the war but cannot find any info on him?? A little off topic sorry. Google away
