Raid on Kristiansand: Apr 40

I am researching the 5 Group daylight raid on German shipping at Kristiansand that took place on 12th April 1940. A mixed force of 12 Hampdens from 44 Squadron (7 aircraft) and 50 Squadron (5 aircraft) attacked a German heavy cruiser that was defended by Bf-109s: six Hampdens failed to return. I have discovered the identities of all of the aircraft and crews that took part in the raid with the exception of one aircraft from 50 Sqn. Does anyone have the aircraft registration and crew of S/L Good's aircraft? I have his gunner as Cpl Wallace but still need to find the names of his observer and WOp/AG. Perhaps if someone has access to 50 Sqn's F540/541 then they could look this up for me? S/L Good's aircraft was the only 50 Sqn aircraft to return from the raid.


Thanks,
W.
