Think it was this one - Sgt Nichoals Alkemade RAF 1944

That one doesn't really answer Steve's question, I think, but there's also detail at the RAF Museum site - The Indestructible Alkemade.

The 115 Sqn ORB should be available in pdf format from the National Archives, although I can't recall whether or not it follows the helpful format of most 540s in giving the names of the crews for each Op, or whether it simply states the aircraft details; if the former, you'd hope it would help give some idea at least of what he got up to after joining the squadron.
