My specific area of interest were RAF units/squadrons that served on Cyprus. I have been gathering photos for many years for a possible future book project. I looked into 294 squadron because they had a detachment here at that time with Walruses and Wellingtons, even though photos of those on Cyprus are rarer than hens teeth. If you think he may have spent time with the detachment on Cyprus, then he may appear in one of a couple of photos that I have. Maybe if you still have his logbook it may mention 'Nicosia' or 'Lakatamia'. If he did not, then he won't in the photos or associated with those pictured.

Incidentally, there is an interesting book called 'Beyond Courage' by Norman Franks, that covers the work of the Air/Sea rescue squadrons in the Med during the war.
