Might not be much of a lead but I read in an Aeroplane monthly that 252 Sqn some time in '44 did an attack in Sitia harbour - with no loss. While this doesn't say anything it still indicates that they'd come back. Since they knew the area already. Perhaps they came back to finish off what they started. I'll look up the date if I find it.
